Ron Olesko:

Joking?

That just typifies how little you know of the sufferings and losses of the artists, and how appalling your lack of care is if you think it's a laughing matter.
And I am not 'defending a position'. What's to defend?
I'm explaining, for the kazillionth time and as many others have also done what you are apparently too dim/obtuse to acknowledge: people have lost livelihoods, work opportunities, their intellectual property and their lives.
Obviously I'm angry - and with massive justification - at your trivialising sneer that all the artists have to do is negotiate a new contract. How fatuous.
And as for compassion, how dare you utter the word?
And what makes you think YOU want some?
Doesn't come into it. The entire Leader/Trailer lost catalogue is printed out in the Bright Phoebus thread. Go and weep over that and the artists still living who are affected. If you know how.



M.Ted:

You have to be completely and utterly sick in the head to equate this tale with the experience of the artists caught in the CM scandal.
Whoever you are, you deserve your 'tires' slashed


Jim Brannigan:

Sorry, can't last more than 3 bars of Star Of The County Down, especially at that tempo.
