As I said before, I never wanted to step on anyones toes. And I never wanted someone to be "pissed off". All music I used for this is from albums I bought from my own hard earned money. I never said that this was MY work. This album is the result of many hard work done by the artist, what I respect absolutley.

I have to apologize if someone have bad feelings about it. As I also said before, I just thought this is a good way to introduce new people to this music genre. Maybe even younger folks, who associate "Spongebob" with the music and like it for that reason. Anyway.

As I also said before this nevr was meant to be a music sharing blog. I've never planned to post full albums there. Just homemade comps. to give the people an idea of what Exotica could show them.

So my apoligizes again, I'm sorry I tried to push the genre without asking for permission. I will remove the link as soon as possible and my blog will be dead from now on.

Goodbye,

No one is suggesting you kill your blog. By all means BLOG AWAY.

DO A PODCAST. There are a bunch of folks on here who have podcasts. Hell, I got band members from people from hearing my music on a podcast that belongs to a TC member. Just DONT REPRODUCE CD's and GIVE THEM AWAY.

Podcasts are inherently much lower quality and in that case downloading a podast with other stuff mixed in,as well as dialogue and banter from the host is fine. It's basically a downloadable radio broadcast.

Giving away CD quality audio, on the other hand on a CD is illegal.

Hey, your passion and love for the music is admirable, and most artists want a podcast playing their stuff, you just need to know the boudaries of copyright laws, and stay within them.

I'd gladly send you MP3's for your podcast of my stuff http://www.tikiyakiorchestra,com, just don't reproduce a CD and give it away.
