A question (indie, albums, members, reviews, artists)

Inuzuka Skysword · 03-09-2008, 06:22 PM

I was thinking about starting a music blog like the ones on the internet and I wanted to know whether you think it would get shut down or not. I really have wanted to right reviews and up albums on a separate blog, but I don't want it to get shut down or anything. So what are the chances of it getting shut down and do any of you guys have a music blog like what I am talking about?

I think you'll be okay.

it really comes on a violation level. If you're leaking albums you're high priority.

If you're giving crap away free, it might be a problem but follow our rule. Make comps or use Youtube links.

People just don't want to be robbed blind. And people read blogs more based on the writing, not a download they can get just about anywhere.

I am talking about old 70s prog album downloads. I want to blog album reviews with album uploads of 70s prog artists.

oh yeah...you'll be fine.

Yeah I'd just do your best to avoid uploading albums affiliated with the big four. Most indie labels don't give a fuck except for like two, Eyeball (crappy label) and some other subpar indie label like them.
