i’m back for the second day in a row. they must not have been working me hard enough at work today because i managed to attach a Creative Commons License to “Our Souls Will See Farther Than Our Eyes.”

i’m not worried about people listening to my music for free, i’m worried about people saying my work is their work. that’s really not a nice thing to do. and if you believe it or not, it has happened to me before. back in the day, i used to write cheezy college poetry on an old blog site called xanga. i had two, one called haeven and one called suncherry. i would post a lot of the poems i wrote back then to the haeven blog while suncherry was my personal day-to-day-bore-your-face-off blog. well, sometime last year one of my old college buddies emailed me asking if i knew such and such a blog person. i said no, and he said well, someone is stealing one of your poems. and sure enough. i asked the person to either attribute it to me or take it down. he took it down.

record labels that gauge peoples eyes out for records made by sucky bands is bad business. the RIAA deserves to die for what they do to their customers. so please, feel free to listen to my music and share it with anyone you know, but don’t try to pass it off as your own work. i don’t make music to make money, i make music to enjoy it and to enjoy other people enjoying my work.
