Topic: On my way out the door....

I'm leaving for about a week in order to visit my family in New York, on my way out I got a little question. If listening to film music was illegal, and punishable by 10 years in prison if you were caught listening to it, or with any cds, would you violate the law and still collect and listen to soundtrack scores? How much love do you have for this type of artistic music?
As for me....yes...I would take the chance and continue listenign to film music, because it has become part of my life. In fact, i has become part of me.
See ya all in 8 days....

Scott, I'd be in there with you in the illegal hideout with posters of Che (music by Lalo Schifrin).

Crap, does that mean I have to share a cell with Andre?
I wonder if that meant that only criminals listened to film music, and then composers would be outlaws, and there'd be a black market for soundtracks, and buying a soundtrack would be 2-3 years, and buying a bootleg would put you on death row.... posted 08-21-2001 02:10 PM PT (US) Ken S

The film music distribution situation here in Finland is so bad, that every time I just step into a music store thinking to do some inquiries, I feel doing something BAD. And if this situation continues, I'll probably do something very illegal, like strangling the entire music store crew who sell soundtracks but don't know anything about them.Maybe film music itself CAUSES one to do illegal things...

Yep, the black straight jacket and the white padded cell would be it. All the way, throw us in. John.

And I dislike most Zimmer & Horner, but wouldn't really want to have to go all the way to the dungeon to listen to Krull or Thin Red Line...
Either way, I guess I'm in the cells...

As for the punishment, "They may take our music, but they'll never take OUR FREEDOM!!!!"
