Ruphus -> Expired copy rights (Oct. 4 2013 11:11:56)

have cheap "reality shows" and ad agency vultures loot the precious pool of hits from the unique period of decades ago.
Must be fitting them great. All for free and coming with an earned atmosphere they could never create.
But for connoisseur´s ears it is a pity and erosion.
Hearing master pieces sliced and attached to trivial items like cosmetic stuff, fast food or detergents inflates the audition experience and desecrates the music creation.
Imagine when you one day will merely associate a certain shampoo when hearing the Stone´s Angie or so. Not to mention your kids.
Expiring of copyright on artwork is just as unfounded as law like the peculiar limitation of crime pursue.
There exists no actual reason for it, while on the other hand there is plenty for not to set such baseless rules.

This issue of hit mincing is floating through my mind since a while.
Last night there were two youngsters appointed at my place. A guitar student and his musician friend.
It came about because every time my student would show me some contemporary piece of music I would mention to him that it was usually adapting from `primary rock and pop´ of preceeding times.
So last night they listened to good ol´stuff they had never heard before; thrilled by the beauty and vitality, and recognizing where todays acts feed from.
With the impression from yesterday in mind I thought to make that rant here about gross devaluation of great popular music.
After incredibly rich decades of the past century todays musicians naturally may have not much choice other than taking from ideals, but makers of trash series and commercials sure could either limit themselves to self-grown mediocre clips or to paying due to artists and their bereaved.
