Music soothes the soul


I have been listening to this music stream for a couple days now, I really like it. The station breaks are a bit silly, but the music is top notch!

I really hate the fact that to 90% of the world "gothic" is synonymous with fetish crazed vamp whores - but really, with that all said, the music played is wonderfully suited for the mind set of Winterfell

I'm sorry, it's called an opinion. Not entirely sure what the law has against an opinion.

If you read the posting, you will see that I LIKE your station, but was simply warning my readers that your stations images might not be safe for work.

Watch my mouth? Shesh, I am sorry you don't appreciate compliments.

I don't have to keep my opinion to myself, thank you very much!

I didn't call you satanists, I merely warned my readers that your website might not be safe for viewing at work because your website had what I perceived to be a satanic/fetish slant to it's image.

I have removed the word "satanic" but I will not remove the word "fetish"... because a woman dressed in only a few leather straps and some metal spikey things with her hand shoved between her legs IS considered fetish themed and is NOT appropriate for the work environment.

Your station plays wonderful music, I wanted to tell the world about it. But I felt the need to warn people that they could be viewing some very mature images if they go to the site.

And if you please read again... I was making a comment about the WORLDS perception about what it means to be goth not you personally.

This is ridiculous.

Free speech is protected in most Western democracies, certainly for critical purposes. In stating "satanic and fetishistic, not safe for work" Miss Anansi was expressing an opinion about the artistic value (to her) of the images used to promote your radio station. In fact, she's demonstrated that she considers the music to play to be of value, and was commenting on a general artistic trend. You may wave a lawyer all you like, if he's worth his degree in jurisprudence he'll laugh in your face.

Perhaps you are writing from another country where different rules apply, but I rather doubt you will make headway here.

I agree with Hotspur...

Vampiria, if you'd actually READ what Miss Anansi has said, she complimented your station. Now with your indelicate manners and lack of... well.. brain... I know you've turned any number of listeners that would have been fans away. I hope you appreciate just how many future listeners you've alienated, because I know I'll be spreading the word... to avoid it.I'd hate to have a law suit sprung on me for enjoying something. Golly.

For us: convo is over

I for one would have checked out the site, but after reading the ensuing douchebaggery I decided against it. Seems like this Vampiria person is WAY to into being cool. Nothing I read in the review oriented post sounded even critical. I would also point out that in the concerned community, being satanistic is hardly a negative??

Gabrielle Riel said...

Serra - you might want to ask Dia to assist with translating your comments into Greek. I think part of the issue here is ESL (English as a Second Language) related.

Vampiria -

You have no legal power against this Blog. Your lawyer will tell you the same thing. Your threats are silly and stupid.

You also just lost thousands of listeners. Yes...thousands. Is your Radio Station a business? You are hurting your own business by attacking a fan. A fan who liked your station and who told thousands (yes, thousands) of people about it.

Your business will fail if you run it like this.

I recommend you hire someone to teach you business and public relations and English.

Hypatia Callisto said...

wow, I really can't believe this is real.

Oh, are you paid up on your RIAA fees? Lawyers can go both ways you know :)

Hypatia Callisto said...

They rawk. And they're sane! Who in their right mind attacks their fans? I mean, its a great way to not have fans anymore.

eh, forgot, probably no RIAA in Greece or wherever in Europe you guys are located. But there's an equivalent, of that you can be certain. But really, I suggest a shrink for the drama inducing postings. Or maybe your english is bad. I am not sure which.

At any rate, I suspect this station isn't going to last too long if all you can do is sue blogs on the other side of the planet. International lawsuits are expensive, and Serra can really just ignore you and laugh. I'll hand this crazy stuff over to my pals in the internet censorship movement in Germany though, they ought to get a good laugh out of it.

Hypatia Callisto said...

sorry, if its Greece that you are located, here is the right organisation to check on music licensing.

Happy to be of service to all the lawyer slime who make the interwebs a less free place.

note I am being facetious, I recommend a dictionary if one can't understand sarcasm :D

Hypatia Callisto said...

heh, having had a looksee, seems like this station only wants registered people to have access to the stream.

well, fine. A less drama inducing note could have been written.

as I live in Germany, I wont be listening anyway, wir sind verboten :) (and I am not German nationality, thank you.) And even if I weren't in Germany, I will never listen to this station, ever. Because I just despise people who act this way, like big bullies, throwing lawyer threats on the net. It's nausea inducing bad behaviour and there is no reason for it at all.

And yeah, Miss Vampiria needs some English lessons, badly. She doesn't seem to understand really anything that's said here - which is making her look pretty comical.

If you can't understand the nuances of English, I recommend you get someone to read this post who does.

I wouldn't worry about a lawsuit... as I said before, suing someone in the USA from Europe is pretty expensive - just remove the stream URL and count this as a day someone forgot their medication for whatever mental illness is bothering them.

So yeah, go listen to Digitally Imported or tune into Creative Commons if you hate these sorts of lawyer happy people. I know I sure do.

Serra Anansi said...

Thanks guys for the back up.

This world is getting so strange that a girl can't dish out compliments with out have a lawsuit slapped on her.

Oh well, I'm board now... moving on.

Icarus Ghost said...

In the unlikely event that Serra Anansi should receive a letter from "Mr. Nikolaidis", or from Google, I will be among the first to make a substantial donation to her legal defense fund.

How very silly indeed.

Lucifer said...

Serra writing about "fetish crazed vamp whores" would probably have had half her readers tuning in immediately, untill they blew it by being asses.

Wildstar Beaumont said...

This is simply incredible Serra. I am so sorry you have to go through this.

People who can't manage a public internet presence should just stay away from it

Dear Sir.

You fail to attend court and I judge you guilty. You to send 340,428,832 Drachmae imedtly to V-R team.

Also wash mouth with soap.

I think we're not very concerned about a 17 year old suffering the usual testosterone poisoning.

But if you are interested in having a discussion on SLUniverse, come join our tea party. Oh and invite your lawyer, I'm sure it will be most amusing, given some of the posters there *are* attorneys :D

Phoenix Psaltery said...

:cough: WTF?

Please, get real here. You're bitching about free publicity.

Even if the "vamp whores" coment was inaccurate (and from your promotional material, I'd say it's well deserved -- and not necessarily in a bad way, lots of people are into that sort of thing -- remember that any publicity is good publicity, and quit acting like a petulant child... oh, sorry, I forgot; you are a petulant child.
