RCRDLBL has liberated music?

davek

I heard on the last podcast about RCRDLBL (pronounced rek-erd-el-bl?), and it was touted as one of the vanguard media sources for broadcast (non-DRM) music. I can find nothing on the site that allows me to get the music, other than another HTML script injection that would allow me to put it on my webspace. Am I missing something? If not, then this is absolutely nothing new.

Enlighten me, please.

it never fails. 30 seconds after I post a question, I find the answer.

if you click on the link to play the file, a magic "-download-" link will appear, redirecting you to the page where you can grab the MP3. Security by obscurity, I guess.

Now to download another playlist for 6SR... Thanks Scott!!

Do my eyes deceive me? Mr. "Podcasts aren't the way of the future because no one wants time shifted audio" is now podcasting!? And check out his latest rant about Fast Karate. It is ripe with the misunderstanding we have come to expect from you, davek. I laughed when you said podcasting was like the RIAA.

Are you kidding? The link is down, I can only assume because davey boy is a gigantic pussy. I'm going to have to assume that it was talking about the little e-mail exchange last night, where I said I wasn't comfortable with someone we'd never spoken with rebroadcasting us. To which I received an almost polite (though totally oblivious) reply of:

That's a shame. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone, I don't think. Its all in good fun, anyway.

The broadcast of your show is done verbatim, with full credit given to the original authors. My radio has no commercials and no money is made from the broadcast of your material. I apologize that I didn't ask your first, but I do believe I am within my rights. May I continue this alliance for the mutual benefit of us both?

Which boggles the mind. Within his rights to use OUR content? COOL! AWESOME! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Maybe all I was looking for was a nice back and forth like "Hey dood! Can I use your show on my radio station?" "Yeah sure! That sounds neat!" but I guess we'll never know now.

For the curious. The first paragraph of his email is in reference to his asking us to join in an internet feud against the Geeknights (his language was far less polite). Normally I would be loathe to share private conversations, but the guy hasn't really proven himself to be anything but a total douche. I love the internet, where people are polite to your face, then record snippy podcast rants behind your back. So awesome.

Wow seriously. Rebroadcasting GeekNights is no problem because we specifically apply the Creative Commons License that specifically permits such activity. AFAIK Dave and Joel do not. Dave, you should totally file the lawsuits. You wouldn't have to work for like, a few years.

Sail

The link is back.

Apreche

Wow, I just listened to that. Davek, do you even listen to yourself? I mean, I thought you were a nut job before, but man. Seriously. You need to see some shrink action.

Kilarney

I was going to keep my mouth shut, but now that Scott opened the can of worms...
How about doing another worst podcast episode of Geek Nights? I have a candidate in mind!

...

"It's a beneficial agreement." *LAUGH OUT LOUD* There was no agreement! Davek, you didn't ask for anything, you didn't agree to anything with Fast Karate for the Gentlemen and they didn't agree to anything with you. And Dave and Joel can't dictate when and where people can listen to their show. All one needs to do is download the episode and then they can listen when and where they (the person who downloaded the episode) wants. Not like your radio, if I want to listen to that I can hope I start listening from the start or I won't understand what the hell you're talking about or where you are in your topic for several minutes. And I can't hit pause to take a leak for your broadcast doesn't pause when I say it should pause. So you and your radio dictate when and where I can listen to your radio broadcast. I need to be at my computer for the entire length of your radio. I have no control whatsoever. On the other side we have Geeknights and Fast Karate for the Gentlemen, two podcasts I can download and then put on my iPod and listen to wherever and whenever I want.

And if you ask me, fewer people know about internet streaming radio then podcasts. And the new medium is podcasts, you need to learn how to evolve, people want to be in control, not be at the mercy of some DJ who broadcasts a radio show starting at x hour till y hour and then repeats once in a while. Listen to your own podcast with the mindset that podcasts are the new media, and (internet) radio is the old media you might realize something.

Last note: Fast Karate has their own copyright, they don't allow redistribution through a creative commons like license. Were you even thinking when you broad casted their material without asking?

Well, we all know how"feuds" against us tend to end... ^_~

Wow. After listening to his podcast, seems that his new feud is with Fast Karate after what happened in previous posts above. I lol'd at the absurdity of what he said.

With you softly sobbing in the corner?

6SR and I personally have stopped listening to and broadcasting the worthless show also known as /Fast Karate for the Gentleman/. Its fun when the bully is on your side. After that, everything Riley says just pisses me off.

And for all the listeners of that show out there, he'd do the same to you.

Geeknights, while I might disagree with their specific philosophies, at least has the presence of mind to realize that it is a foolish and futile exercise to try and control the content they release, and they allow other people to profitlessly benefit from their good work. I wish other people had the same vision.

Enjoy the future programming, ladies and gentlemen.

(ps: this thread started as a thank you to Scott for finding a good website for me. You all turned it back into a flame war. Who's the psycho here?)

Zeehat

Who's the psycho here?

You.

Sail

You all turned it back into a flame war.

I'm glad I turned into a flamewar, too.

Unless you will rant so stupidly as you did in this last show, don't expect me to listen. Hey, let me be nice and give you a little pointer. Those little few second bits of music you put in the show to break your ranting up. Doesn't work. When I was listening and I came across the first 2 second song snippet I thought your show might have something redeeming. But no, after 2 seconds it cut away and you were ranting in my ears again. The second song snippet took 3 seconds, and it sounded nice, I wondered what song it was but I was cut of by you continuing on your useless rants.
