OHM Vangelis for Orbiter

[OrbitHangar]

Author: luke reichelt

These are twelve of my favorite compositions by one of the greatest synthesizer artists of all time, Evangelos Papathanissiou (AKA Vangelis.) Orbiter Sound 3.0 or higher is, of course, required, but other than that it should work properly.

The law only cares whether you actually infringed copyright, not whether you intended to or not.

Personally, I don't have any of Vangelis' music, so I can't check its copyright/licence conditions but I would be surprised if it allowed copy/distribution for "non-commercial" purposes.

If you really want people to know about his music, it would be much better to make a post (in a thread like this one) telling us all about this great artist and listing your favourite songs of his.

I looked into this and it does not appear that Vangelis's music is made publicly available for free download and/or redistribution. As such, I have removed this upload from the site.

I have also updated the Orbit Hangar Mods Terms of Service. Hopefully this will make things clearer for anyone seeking to upload music to the site in the future.

But you find music by Vangelis, especially Mythodea and the soundtrack of the documentary Cosmos by Carl Sagan.

But you can't steal it and then gift it to the internet.

They probably pay royalties to Vangelis.

That's like saying that you can legally distribute music you recorded from MTV - Guess what? you can't and nor can you distribute music used as a soundtrack to something.

At least in Germany, you can legally make copies of radio (streams) for personal use. But be aware for the subtle nuances: Even sharing such copies among friends is legal, uploading them to a website for public access is a commercial activity, even if you charge no money.

With all that self-contradicting legal mess it's a miracle we still have music.

Music is not the problem, Distribution of music is it. We are so much used to labels, that politicians can't imagine how bands can exist without contract...

The whole problem in the internet is not music, but a powerful industry fighting for their de-facto monopolies.

As I understand it, musicians (on average, anyway) make a lot more money from live performance than from recorded music sales. Perhaps the popularity of their live performances would increase if they just dispensed with trying to get signed to a label?

maybe, maybe you just need to find a better balance between performer and musician - just look at Britney Spears, who lately mostly impresses by the arrogance to present a low-grade stripshow as concert, with her just lip-syncing a tape. For just the show from the tin, you can buy a DVD for less.

Also, I know quite many bands who are popular without a major label behind them, because of good life performances... usually you are a great band first and then get the contract, not the other way around, like it happened lately.

Caused quite some controversy recently. Here, there are moves afoot to make performers declare, at the time of ticket sale, if lip-syncing will be part of the concert. It is already illegal to lip-sync in Turkmenistan for some years now.

Friggin A. The sale of recorded music nowadays has little to do with the actual artist, it's all about making money for the label, and every move they make is to protect their profit. To them, the artists don't really matter.

I will say this: Regardless of the means that I hear music by, if I really like an artist, I will gleefully pay full ticket price to see them in concert.

Now if only the Scorpions would come back to the US. :RnR1:

Should be punished by public flogging. In Germany, people are far more used to this betrayal, and it is really annoying. In fact, people are so much used to it here, that Stefan Raab got quite some trouble in his younger years, when he mocked the lip-syncing in the "ZDF Hitparade" by not attempting to lip-sync at all. Made some old music industry people really angry back then. His TV show is actually one of the few places in German TV where playing live is the norm and not lip-syncing.

Is better that way. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the experience of Seeed presenting their then-current song "Ding" with only a small, almost children toy like, cassette deck.

Illegal file sharing is good for the economy

I've been listening to his work since the early 80s. Some of his earlier work is hit and miss but his early film scores are pretty good. It's really hard to pin down his best single album because you can usually find at least 4 if not more good tracks on each one.

Files Sharing

None of this is illegal.

Only you people make it illegal.

Sheeesssss.
Wake up.

Neither the OHM nor the OF Admins want this on their servers. That should be enough for everyone to simply not upload it.
And uploading copyrighted works is nearly everywhere illegal.
