I would agree with a lot of what Shane said in that blog and certainly the abuse that has been posted on UnaRocks is utterly disgraceful and you shouldn't have to put the disclaimer up that you do, people should just know better. I would however not leap to the conclusion that Shane makes that being hetero and male is a shield, I've found neither to be much protection from people who were determined to be gits.
UnaRocks does not UPLOAD music. All music links provided are ones that already exist online, or mp3s from band and record label websites. If you are in a band / band management and wish me to remove any of these links, I will, of course, oblige. UnaRocks believes that music sharing actively enriches our musical climate. Music sharing is as old as music itself. People who download music buy more records, go to more gigs, and buy more music merchandise than those who do not. The recent phenomonan of online music sharing has been credited to the ongoing resurgance in the live music scene across our world, and the increasing successes of 'indie' or 'underground' bands. In turn, if you are in a band / band management and wish me to post a link to a song for the pleasure of the readers of UnaRocks, please do not hesitate to contact me by commenting on this blog. Peace.
