Sinabro

I took a long and hard look at my music collection. I nuked my old collection (some songs in there lasted for 5 years since my first acquaintance with Napster) about a month or two ago. I then started a new collection with music that I could get gratis legally. Like the Radiohead’s new album. Weird Al Yankovic’s “Don’t Download This Song”. And so on.

But … now that I look at my growing collection (Thanks, opsound), I realize these vestiges of my old self is weighing me down. These music might have been obtained at no cost. But they are not free. We are not free to redistribute them as we wish. We are not free to make derivative works out of it. These works are not free.

I’ve always said that “talent matters not where heart is black.” I do not think these artists really stand against us—after all, it’s only this belief that let me put this non-free music in my collection. But … these artists have not yet stood with us. And therefore, I shun them.

I can now proudly say that my music collection is completely free. All the music and mixes in here are composed of CC-BY-SA works to th best of my knowledge.

Now … if I can do something about my video collection …

Testing the last bit left. If this works, then my site works in its new server as it used to in the old server.

Edit: Of course, all this testing is because I used to run my own custom scripts …

Well, I moved to a new host, and, as a result, had to tweak a few things here and there to get everything working again. This is checking whether my scripts are still working.
