[kj] OT: Hypocrisy

[Patrick Davies]

<For what reason do "many"people refuse too be associated with Sky.And
if
you are against it ,Then I hope you don't watch any of the programmes.>

ah, now you ask why people refuse and then stipulate a method of
behaviour before you understand why! 

I wont pay for Murdoch empire. Full stop. I can watch it in a pub if im
so inclined but ultimately life is full of riches that go far beyond
that cathode ray tube. After being Thatchers icon of ruthlessness he is
happy to jump ship to court anything that gives him money and without
regard for people or their culture


<The only difference between U2 and the KJ advertising campaigns is the
scale and amount of money involved.U2 song was used in a commercial so
was
KJs ,U2s faces were used KJs were nt.>

As I say I can see a difference. You can disagree. Im not commenting on
whether KJ were right. 

<The more money the advertisers pay the more the band do.KJ were nt paid
much.I suppose U2 use ipods,So why should
nt they advertise it,If I remember correctly the KJ song was used to
advertise a Sky programme(snow-boarding I think)>

these are, I take it, assumptions. You don't really know do you? I
already defined the difference to my understanding. Im happy to change
that when I see good arguments that encourage deliberation. Im not
judging KJ peter, I was simply defining the difference.

From: Graham Brown : I'm wondering whether the bands have much say in
the matter or whether the label or publisher can do what they like with
a piece of music.  I could be wrong...

Coldplay (I think) refused their song to be used recently. Cant give you
anymore details. The embarrassment of the clash being on that Bond film
in order to tekll the viewer that the scene is now in London should be a
warning to all artists. I believe the clash s complete control is at the
start of a film right now, although I don't know which film it is.
