AFAIK he only owns the image - I don't think he was the one that created the meme and/or put the song on top

That is correct, I just took a moment to reeducate myself.

It still strikes me funny to think about how that all turned out, and remember what I was up to at the time.

Most people aren't trying to make money off of this and there have been lawsuits for use of nyancat. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement regardless of "cultural canon."

Anyway this guy is trying to make money off of a copyrighted character and hoping nobody notices. How is this apples and oranges?

What you were asking about in the original post was not legality, but why people are outraged by one thing and not another. That's what I was answering.

There is a part of me thinking Torres is a douche canoe for appropriating a song that wasn't his, even if he did send it to worldwide fame, but we can't have other people making money off of a pop tart cat, can we?

That's too bad, because I was considering asking Daniwell if he was okay with using the song in your behalf. (Or just telling him about it to see what he has to say.)

In principle, he seems to be okay with stuff like this but he probably wishes he'd have sold more copies of his CD. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005BUPTPU/

I think the clothes thing relates to the age thing. There is a certain point where music, clothes, and other material things are points of identity, putting you in some group or another, where looking the music, clothes, movies, is not necessarily a matter of appreciation. Of course, there are outliers who like music at face value (and often become musicians) and if you remain interested in music, fashion, whatever through adulthood it becomes less a matter of social identity and more of a straightforward appreciation. I'm not sure if the survey is checking for or aware of this.

Someone on reddit is concerned about the J. Arthur Keenes Band website. Just thought I'd leave this here in case someone with knowledge has the answer.

If you can't get your midi stuff visible in any program, you might need to check on the Korg software (particularly to make sure the driver is working.)

You can set up midi input on those, I think, but zxcvbnm for white notes and sd ghj for black notes works right away.

You know, I agree with what you deleted.

That kind of thing becomes up to you as well as up to the people you meet. If the event doesn't give the time and space for that, it isn't a good event. I relate to J3wel's story, because I occasionally think to myself, my town has great local music for its size...

+1 to all of that ^ but especially this:

i think physical events are needed because they allow yourself to step back, humble yourself, and appreciate the things that made you inspired by it in the first place. they allow you to stop finding the negatives or finding a way to criticize and also allow you to become motivated by the things that worked and and have worked

I've noticed this myself when going to live events of various sorts.

Since we're repeating ourselves a bit, I can only speak for myself by saying I know what would happen for me... What's true is, if you find yourself a thing to do (anything, really) the online virtual whatever will matter to you less and less. That doesn't necessarily have to be music.

Regarding miku stomp, as well as it seems to track I want to throw high speed randomized tones at it and see if it keeps up.

At least we're not being overly dramatic over Vocaloids like music enthusiasts after Miku showed up on David Letterman.

It's the end of music!

Just to make sure I'm being clear, if I read between the lines a bit, and probably create more meaning than there really is , I see the OP ask, Why aren't I getting the support I'm used to?

So when I see "go to a gig," I see Give us your money and time, which would certainly be a good time, but doesn't really solve the problem.
