iTunes give a 25 second snapshot of every track before you buy! Film producers release trailers! These are not quite in your price bracket yet they give a guarantee that at least "some" content exists.


I have the million to spend no problem whatsoever - but I'm afraid I won't like the track.... so what are you going to do about it?

When you buy the track for a million pounds you are buying into the ideas behind the campaign.

You will know that you have in your possession a unique copy of a piece of music.

Which you can share or keep to yourself.

Download Priceless by Sly and Reggie, the file sharing campaign track.

I can buy into the ideas behind the campaign for free I think you will find! Not that I do ... but that is free if I chose to.

By the way I have just sung into my phone and recorded it - was just a little ditty I made up on the spot and no one heard me. Let's make it a straight swap? I bet mine is better than yours.


Actually sod this ..... I KNOW mine is better than yours! Keep ya chuffing Whalenoise v Lady Sov mashup.

Inadvertently, I think reggie has stumble onto an important point.


When file sharing first began to manifest itself, the record companies responded with their own, legal, downloading offerings. At the time, you could pick up most CDs for about 9 quid or less if you shopped around. So what did the record companies do? Crippled the songs with DRM and offered them at about 12 or 13 pounds an album. Lesser product, higher price. This especially annoyed the consumer as they realised that the businesses had lower costs - no pressing, no album covers, no transport, no distribution.


So reggie's ?1M download is an obvious extension of this - offering something at a price far inflated from actual worth, in a vain bid at maintaining control. Marvellous piece of satire. Did you mean it?

If you want to add 'marvellous piece of satire' to the concept of file sharing protest song and increase its value I am more than happy.

Maybe it's looking a bit cheap now and should be ?2,000,000.

The track 'Priceless' by Sly and Reggie that you can buy will in fact not be a copy but a unique file.

      Great Electrician

      By Merida · Posted

      I can't recommend Leon too highly.  He provides a first-rate service.  He's friendly but also professional.  He sorted out my extractor fan which  was running incessantly because another electrician had bodged it. At the same time he saved me buying a new shaver unit which had stopped working when the extractor wouldn't stop running. He was also uncomplaining about having to to go up and down 3 flights of stairs between the bathroom and the electrical power unit. He will definitely be my first port of call for any future electrical issues.  His contact number is: 07707 925039.

      Up the reform

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      of course most people would avoid the "stupid" term - but I'm sticking with it fact is no other European would be so dumb, and even with the same information, the  same media, the same everything, 2 of the countries within the UK saw ho stupid an idea it was - but only the English (who played a large part in the Welsh result) pushed ahead - there is something defiantly arrogant and stupid and it isn't just down to bad info and bad leadership But that was all 2016 - it's people in 2025 who claim it to be a good idea executed badly who are especially stupid Now - does calling people stupid help anyone? It's not especially politically gainful and just gets peoples' backs up - but it remains a truth and only when the country as a whole genuinely holds it's hands up and admits the stupidity (rather than downplaying it as a poor decision - no shade meant Mal - you are just nicer and politer than me) will it begin. to turn the tide Also worth mentioning that yes I am as intractable and blunt with friends and family who voted Leave as well - this isn't me hiding behind some online anonymous account. This is what I'm like

      By bleumarine · Posted

      Hello My name is Lizzie and I work locally as a dog walker and nanny. I won’t be needed over Summer so will have full availability for a dogsitting job. I have a DBS certificate and will provide several dogsitting references as well. Please note that I can only watch your pet at your home since they are sadly not allowed in my flat! Looking forward to hear from you
