wraub Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hey all. I will need URL info at some point, to add to releases to media. I agree that other donation methods should be present, and encouraged. Maybe radio buttons in 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, etc. amounts... I dunno. What about the download, how secure is it? And what about dissemination of the song beyond "our control"? Back to writing... Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

Shars Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 see http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=11;t=000330 as to what has been said as i am stuck re downloading and security of the song. www.myspace.com/yacababy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris. Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 How about stream? make it non-downloadable? if someone really wanted to post url to the song they could, no matter how secure we try to make it. you know Base might have known about this sort of things Shars, he works in an IT company. COuld everyone give a breif progress report as to where theire up to, and if alls well for the deadline. Maybe we could all help iron out problems if there are any. http://www.faceoffriendship.org/fof_banner_468.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip OKeefe Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Streaming... well, I can see where that might be cool... but honestly, I think a old fashoned D/L should be fine. People are probably going to want something tangible, that they can burn to a CD, listen to in the car, take to work to show their friends (word of mouth advertising), etc. If people file share it, then 1) they're pretty low and crass (and we can even put a plea on the site that appeals to their honesty - in light of the situation, you'd have to be quite the ass to take the song and not contribute to the assistance fund for those in need) and 2) it's just extra word of mouth publicity... I was wondering - and almost posted "I wonder how long it will take to show up on the P2P networks?", but after a bit more thought, I didn't think it was going to be a significant issue after all. What do you folks think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraub Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Yeah, Phil, that's what I was getting at with security, P2P and sharers. I agree they'd have to be an ass to do it, but that's never stopped all the asses from doing similar. I am, however, unsure of a good alternative. Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDM Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I just posted one option for file delivery type over on the Tsunami - Marketing / Networking thread. I think having multiple file types for d/l would be a good thing. DJDM.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Flier Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Shars and all, iTunes has an "affiliate" program that allows you to link directly from your site to a song in their catalog and they collect the money. You might want to contact iTunes, tell them about the project, and ask them if the song can 1) be added to their catalog quickly, 2) perhaps they can increase your commission or contribute a matching donation, and 3) once it is in their catalog perhaps they can promote it themselves on their own web site, and mention that proceeds from the download will be donated to help the tsunami victims.

Shars Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 DJDM thats a great idea but I just posted this on the music thread so thought i would throw it out again to see what people think of it. I have an idea as to overcome the payment thing on the site. We basically have the page for the DEC on the payments page which is secure anyway and when people have donated, they are then directed to the download page to get their MP3. That way, the donation is made directly to the DEC and not us so we are not liable for tax and we just give them their song. Hows that sound? We can also ask people to email in with the amount they have givern sowe can total it up as we go along...just an idea. Phait may be able to advice here I hope www.myspace.com/yacababy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip OKeefe Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Lee, I think your suggestion regarding i-Tunes is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Flier Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Yeah, even if iTunes keeps some of the money, the amount of publicity it would get would make it worth it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDM Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I don't think it would take much effort to get Weed to contribute their funds from the proceeds as well. I'm easy with whatever solution people decide on and having multiple d/l options for the file still sounds like a solid idea from a marketing standpoint. More locations to get the file that way. Always a good thing. Shars my only concern about a secure page is that people can't check out the file before d/l. Unless I'm missing something about that process?

wraub Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I agree, if possible, more DL options is better for everyone. The iTunes idea might have some merit, depending on their attitude and their cut (if they keep it). Peace, wraub I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

Shars Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I think Nursers got intouch with the Itunes people. He should be awake soon so we can ask and I'll check out Weed now www.myspace.com/yacababy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shars Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 £25 million rasied so far by the British public and another £50 million donated by the goverment...this is great news and all since 6.30 last night! It shows how the British public can come together,all differences aside, to help quickly when its needed. Its great to be a brit today and my nation has made me proud and I am sure Chris will agree!

Steve Force Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Dear Mr. nursers: How are we going to be updated on the project status (instrumentation, mixing, production, etc)?

Chris. Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I thought someone should mention it.. but for security should we not email it to each other? After all this is a public forum. Just a thoguht. It be a shame if it all went wrong after people spending so much time ensuring the security of the download. you know? http://www.faceoffriendship.org/fof_banner_468.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Knutson Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'll try to keep people updated. Right now, we're still receiving tracks. Nursers, the Pub folder at your site appears to be empty. Have you recived Forceman's bass tracks yet? I'll post rough mix mp3s as we go, if I have time. REMINDER: We have a new click/guide track from Tedster which is the one people should be recording along to. Here it is: http://tedster.net/fearmixrough2.mp3 https://bunny.bandcamp.com/ https://theystolemycrayon.bandcamp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.WOW Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 When I finish up my guitar, I am gonna send it to you Nursers and then you can do some majic and send it to Bunny. Is that ok? This song is great. All I have done on the guitar is mimic the lyrics and it sounds good. I gotta go to bed now but I will finish up tomorrow.

Bunny Knutson Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Chris, we can remove all the links to rough mix mp3s when we've got a finished mix available. That's probably a good idea. https://bunny.bandcamp.com/ https://theystolemycrayon.bandcamp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
