    Jimquisition: Piracy Episode One - Copyright

    Hmm. Now that I've had a good nice opportunity to reflect and think over what you're saying, I see where you're coming from a lot better now. The internet has certainly taken away much of the hold that publishers used to completely dominate. With a lot of hard work, some luck and a lot of smarts...

    Jimquisition: Piracy Episode One - Copyright

    Every label contracts. There are some Christian labels out there that contract with great flexibility, but they still contract. If publishers don't utilise contracts they can get screwed ridiculously easily and waste a lot of time and money on artists who abuse their services. While you can go...

    Jimquisition: Piracy Episode One - Copyright

    No one ever said publishers/agents are the only way to go, just that you either don't give them enough credit or think marketing/legal issues is a lot easier and less time and money consuming than it is. Not everyone would go down the self-producing road because they realise how hard it is...

    Jimquisition: Piracy Episode One - Copyright

    This is pretty much entirely wrong. Book and music publishers do quite a lot for each writer/artist. I don't know heaps about what happens to books but most of what music publishers do can be transferred across in one way or another. Music publishers, on top of distribution, they also market the...

    What are you top 5 albums of all time?

    Man, in some of these I'm having trouble figuring out which on is the album and which is the artist... Here are mine and (to be different) they are in a SPECIFIC order. Ha, take that! 5. Punk Goes Pop 4 (This totally counts...) 4. We Came As Romans - Understanding What We've Grown To Be...

    Poll: New board game for my group: Zombies!!! or Carcassonne?

    I second this; not that I have extensive experience with 'Zombies!!!' however. In answer to your actual question, if you want a good strategy game go Carcassonne. Even the vanilla version is extremely fun although the expansions help make it a ridiculously awesome experience. Also crack out...

    What is your favourite game genre?

    Shooters and RPG's. Sometimes even RPG-SHOOTERS!!! Although now days I'm starting to really get into MOBAs. Although I only really have experience with LoL...

    Do you share your Birthday with anybody famous

    No one. Like seriously. Sure there are people but none that have made their way into pop culture (at least none that I saw). February 19. I did find one person though. Anyone remember that Hillary Duff chick from a while back? Yeah, her sister Haylie Duff was about the best I could find.

    For the people who know how to play an instrumet, how did you learn?

    I play bass. Funnily enough I learnt it though guitar hero. Well not quite learnt, but it kinda seemed like the next natural progression after it. I started all through ear and tabs when I could find them. I think what really got me hooked was the fact that I could play along to my favourite...

    Poll: Survey on Ethics & Gaming

    How would you define the difference between 'Religious' and 'Deeply Religious'? Are we talking religious as in, 'I take part of an organised religious community.' and deeply religious as in; 'I reject all of the people of my faith because they aren't hardcore enough. Tonight I shall be...

    Your favorite lesser known band

    Hands Like Houses. Weird name, brilliant music. It's hard to classify them in a genre but the closest I can think of is Hard rock/Metal/Awesome. They're quite refreshing and are one of the most creative bands I have heard in a while, focusing heavily on melody; both guitar and vocal. Just check...

    Favourite Muse song

    As a bassist, I really can't pass up Hysteria. There are very few bass riffs that match up to the awesomeness that this one provides. It was also the first song I learnt that actually made me feel like I had accomplished something on my instrument.

    What are the most annoying fans in your opinion

    Am I allowed to say Harry Potter fans, or is this strictly gaming? Ah screw it, I'm going for it. Forget Religion and Politics, this stuff gets shoved down my throat WAY more! It's ridiculous! How did it even get so popular, it's only slightly above average in the first place, damnit! And yet...

    Why do you play games?

    I play games for two main reasons: Fun and Escapism. I usually play for number 2 and then number 1 comes with it. As great as real life is, I enjoy getting away from it and secluding myself, thus games! I can put myself into a world which doesn't exist and pretend it does. While I can do this...

    Stupidest Reason Why You've Gotten Into Trouble In School.

    I'm generally a little goody two shoes type person and respect all my teachers (my mum is a teacher and that's my aspiration) but there is one who I really just hated, and she hated me. She taught me for both for my mandatory German language class (pain is the ass) as well as English, go...
