gsmith37064 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 If i set up an FTP server for shared sequences would this interest people? I am thinking 3 categories to start. 1) Christmas 2) Halloween 3) Faces Would do you guys think? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORAdmin Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 If there is audio of any kind on the FTP server, you wouldn't be allowed to advertise it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmith37064 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Nope that's why i said shared sequences. No mention of audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcha Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I would be interested in supplying some sequences here, as it would ease the ability of sharing and searching for sequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Johnson Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Since audio is forbidden it would help to have a link to Amazon or wherever to purchase the music. Other wise you can spend several hours trying to find the proper song by the proper artist. I thought of doing this but was going to be a big PITA.

A link to YouTube would be easiest, and it is technically not sharing the audio, but people can download free of charge, if they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmith37064 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Most of the songs i get from Amazon are only $.79-$.99. So i do not see the big deal in picking them up. If your show only has 10-15 songs... that's only $15 for the year on the high side. Now the down side are the custom edit songs. I really don't have an answer for those. But i am not really seeing support for an FTP so as of now i am torn on if i should set it up. It would be nice to look in ONE location for a sequence. As for pointers to the song on Amazon... The only way i could see doing that is to have a master list that contains the sequence name and Amazon URL. Now a web site would be easier in that aspect. So i still asking for input and comments on this. Edited March 18, 2016 by gsmith37064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys in the UK must have some pretty weak/ineffective copyright laws. In this country the music industry would DEFINITELY consider pirating YouTube audio as a crime. In fact, they might even be able to make a case that providing links for the purpose of piracy would fall under the guise of aiding and abetting.

Our laws are much stricter than yours, but if it is free to play from YouTube, it is OK to download it and play it. If I got into trouble, I could just say it is no different to playing direct from YouTube. Over here, it is illegal to broadcast copyrighted music on FM, which I do, and it is illegal to play copyrighted music where more than 15 people are able to hear it, without a licence.

Mega Arch Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Back to Greg's original question about FTP server idea. ----- Greg, I'm no computer guy, so don't laugh if I'm all washed up here... But there's already a pretty active/popular FTP site out there. - ftp://199.72.55.209/upload/ Couldn't you just upload your string of sequences to it? Again, I can't, I'm not, I barely even hacked out this email.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's among the most convoluted BS about pirating music that I've read in quite a while. Yes, you can legally access videos on YouTube and play them. But I'm pretty sure you've crossed the line once you "download" the music and then use it in your display. Perhaps we should ask ASCAP to tell us how THEY feel. It always disappoints me when I see people spend thousands and thousands on their display equipment, and then stiff the recording artists instead of coughing up a measly 99 cents for a legal copy of the music.

gsmith37064 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 I was unaware of this FTP server Daniel. Do you know who owns it? Do we know if it's stable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmith37064 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Come on guys... Let's get back on topic as Daniel put it. We all know how much it costs to get a MP3 from legit sources. Which is nothing really. We all know how to get them other ways as well. This thread is not about MP3's. It's about giving a dedicated repository for sequences to the community to make it easy to find what that much needed sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I think its a great idea and would be glad to help. Buying the music is chump change, I am sure some people here spend more on coffee in one week then they would on music for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not look like it's been updated in some time as I did not see anything in the last year on there. Not to say i did not miss it though. There is a lot to sort through.
