Description:

This group stands for equal access to last.fm services, for all people. Because it will bring you more quality, diversity, and an extended musical choice.

> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9C87B9IcW8: Let's be inspired by Sam Cooke's struggle for better artist and audience rights.
From the album "Yes" by Pet Shop Boys, "Building a wall" goes: "I'm building a wall/ a fine wall/ not so much to keep you out/ more to keep me in"
Another group that favours artist's and user's rights is Free For Free

> "... listeners to Last.fm Radio outside of the USA, UK and Germany will be asked to subscribe for €3.00 per month, after a 30 track free trial period. In the USA, UK and Germany, where it’s feasible to run an ad-supported radio service, there won’t be any changes ...". Read the 10 June2009 and the 22 April 2009 items. Your group leader understands that the founders of last.fm sold their creativity to CBS and quit their job.

We from Equal Rights For Last.fm Members are customers who are aware of things. We ask questions, like: how come that Last.fm pretends to be a radio that says: "Wake up! There are still people who can't get at the music they want the way they want to. So, back to work…", while they make customers pay, who live in all world countries except USA, United Kingdom and Germany, for listening to Last.fm tracks? Why do they create first-class and second-class customers? We would like to see some sign from Last.fm that they are trying to negociate with the ad-markets and governments in different countries (or groups of countries), in order to obtain better selling and buying conditions.

We encourage ourselves here to look out for information about the market and government policies, so that we can obtain better customer rights.

Aristotle said: "The weak always want to find justice and equality. These are of none interest to the strong."
That's why we're talking about QUALITY through diversity, which could interest the strong more!

That we are? Shipwrecks of a ship, who we have been to the drift in a lost island? Citizens of second class? The cancer of a system? Ocupadores of left houses? Unemployed never compensated? Excluded the new poor men? Perhaps we are DEAF? Deaf people by a deafening silence? Or we are the same silence of the deaf people? The deaf people whom nobody wants to listen? That we are?

How does it sound a radio without a music ? How does it sound the shout of millions of people ? How does it sound the silence of a radio ? How does it sound the lost of friendship .Can you hear that sound ? Today is all that we can hear. The saddest thing is that for some people It doesn't sound at all

I've read Patchwork Letter thread. A great thing to do. I hope Last.fm HQ would have realised by now what the real problem is. They may not be able to do anything to the "management decision", but I only want them to know what it meant for the communities and people's connections on Last.fm.

Maybe we'll have to listen more to the Equal Rights For Last.fm Members Member Radio in order to create the charts? I'm doing that for the last two hours :-) But I noticed the magical dissapearance of our charts, too. Great radio, by the way. But I ban the striking scrobble tracks, simply because I don't consider it as music to listen to ... it's annoying when it pops up, spam of some sort.
