I don't normally like knocking people..... but I just can't help it this time.... "Alex Brega" <nicolabrega@hotmail.com> wrote
My friend Giorgio "Reiter",has noticed that Brasilian Technopop site is taking material all over the web,without asking. He is the Italian KW-related "MONDOKRAFTWERK" site mainteiner and he has never given his material as written in Technopop comics section. What kind of courtesy could be if they even have asked him permission to publish ? I think it is not so correct.
I too think that it is not correct. They took items from my site (various graphics, the video wall, some mp3s) and only after I had seen them did they put a "credit on it"....... so yes it IS bad.... I wrote to them about it too.... and in the end what can I, or any other site maintainer, do? It WOULD be more polite to ask BEFORE they take stuff... but I have to say that it has become a great resource for Kraftwerk Fans.. I wish I had this years ago.... Now if only they could make it gain a bit of speed to make it MUCH more useful! *sigh*
Alex went on to say "have patience,but after 7+7 hours of train to reach the place and about 500 Euros spent in order to see KRAFTWERK, I think that I have all rights to ask for some money."
This guy has told me that he wants 30 Euros for an "illegal" copy of one of those recent concerts (though he thinks he owns the rights to what he has recorded).... and this, following his above statement, makes me really laugh!! I think he is on a different planet! I would recommend this list members avoid him like the plague! But in the meantime.... Keep Werking John www.keepwerking.co.uk
