But its pretty hard to figure out what they all are. We're grateful to them and many others we havn't mentioned, for entertaining us, inspiring us, and giving us ideas for our own music. We couldn't have done it without them.Artists still need to make money. But it's the large companies that make the most out of the record industry as it is. Current copyright laws have to change; tecnology has moved on and they need to change with it. This change is inevitable. But change is good. The ideas of the past are our birthright; this doesnt just apply to music but to science, all arts and culture. On the internet they can be available to anyone who can access a computer. We like it that our music is available to everyone. We want as many people as possible to hear it. We just hope you like it.
