Altes Land by Peter Prautzsch
As the end of the year closes in Peter Prautzsch returns to the surface with a soothing and somewhat picturesque new EP featuring 7 tracks each recently recorded in September 2012. ‘Altes Land’ (Old Country) again takes the quiet path laid down by the early 2012 album release Schwere See. All arrangements wander through rich organic textures, meandering in and out of the carefully shaped musical scope. You wouldn‘t record this sort of music in spring as these nostalgic drones, intimate loops and dusty field-recordings illustrate the beauty of late autumn field walks.

Fixing Copyright: Is Copyright A Part Of Free Market Capitalism?
To hopefully demonstrate this clearly, we‘ll start out with two examples of other „markets“ that show that just because you set up a property right and create a market, that doesn‘t mean it‘s a free market. First up: air. Yes, that stuff we all breathe. It‘s clearly a valuable good. Extremely valuable. But… if we‘re to believe the maximalist view, because we don‘t directly pay for the air we breathe (even if we pay for it indirectly) it must be „valueless“ or „worthless.“ So, clearly, the best way to deal with this is to set up a monopoly privilege in air — such that you need to buy a „license“ to breathe air that isn‘t yours.
Think of the massive industry that would be built up around this.
