a KryKey Personal Web Radio weekly newsletterGrowth continues with more web radio stations being created this week. If you go to the Facebook group you can see today a few 'listener' maps which displays where the listeners are on these days. The bigger the dot means the more listeners in that area. The past week we have had a problem with several PRS and the developers are at this moment fixing them. They should be finished I am hoping today, but they work at their own pace in Hyderabad and it seems urgency isn't in their vocabulary. We apologize for the delay, but it is out of our hands. The next version due to be released in July will have a new support team in Europe and this will improve things dramatically.

Is a DJ an Artist?
DJing is a relatively new phenomenon. Sure, DJs have existed for some time, playing song selections on the radio, or providing the soundtrack to weddings and fortieth birthday parties. However, mixing as an art form emerged in the late seventies, early eighties, when DJs such as Frankie Knuckles, in America, started doing live edits to underground disco music, seaming tracks together to enhance the flow of the music and boost their party-hard audiences.

Home Video and Songs - Not Allowed
Today I was emailed by a friend who explained that she had created a family video of the beaches they visited in the Mediterranean and then using Windows Moviemaker, put these clips together, added some music. She then muted the video clip soundtrack as it was just a combination of the waves, children making noise and other sounds. The music she chose was one of the Beach Boys songs and it went well with the Beach video clips. Now remember this was a 'home movie' of 2 minutes and 20 seconds long and was not for commercial use. She then using Windows Moviemaker saved it in a small enough format to add to some of the social networks she belonged to.

This weekend we sat around the table at dinner with some people from the music industry, some independent artists, some DJ's who create their music from other peoples songs and some other people who have nothing to do with the music industry but are listeners of a wide range of music that is out there. We all ate dinner and discussed sharing music and other art over the Internet, and why it’s a good thing. Here are the points that came from this discussion.
