After the Lazlow Show Episode 38
We had a good show tonight, despite the equipment being messed up and forcing us to do all kinds of workarounds. Danny sprung into action and we played the mashup right out of the intro cause we couldn't hear ourselves in the headphones, but he came through and did some mad MacGyver/A-Team action to get us on the air. We'll post the full show soon. Sunday hopefully.
Minutes after the show Reed and Wayne retreated to the Opie and Anthony office to play with a blow up doll they found. The pictures will insure neither of them ever run for political office. Or work legitimate jobs again. Ever. On second thought the evidence should be destroyed or we'll find the two of them under a bridge hookin for subway fare. Tough economic times call for some discretion.

The torrent debate
It's to the point where i can't possibly respond to all the emails on this subject that are coming in, so i'll add on to a bit i posted on wackbag today.
Just to clear up some misconceptions -
1. we have no objection to people recording the show, sharing the show, bittorrenting a show. what we have objection to are the people who buy the box set, which contains way more than just the radio shows on it, and posting that online for anyone and everyone to steal.
2. None of us are "making a living" off of this show. However it does put some spare cash in our pockets. And there are bills to pay - the accountant - duplication equipment, laser toner - these things cost money. and if a source of income for the show goes away because people are stealing it - why would we keep doing it?
3. The international market is much larger for us than the United States - and as the box set appeared on torrent sites over the last few weeks it affected us significantly. The posting on Christmas day threw me over the edge.
4. We're well aware and technically savvy about how the "world works." things get pirated. But as i said in my original post, this speaks to the basic core problem of what we're trying to explain to posters on message boards who are bashing us for threatening to not bother doing something that loses money - if i may rephrase economist James Surowiecki's point: People want access to everything, they want it now, and they want it for free. That's a consumer's dream, but eventually it's going to collide with reality: if profits vanish, so will the product.
The original post on my site has launched an enormous debate about content, piracy and compensation, and it's an interesting discussion to have - and I think one that needed to happen overall. And some fans took action against the torrent dicks. From what I hear the box set got pulled down.
I've been involved in content creation since I got out of college and for the 12 years I did the Technofile I reported extensively about the DRM debate, piracy, and clueless record companies who sue grandmas. The Digital Millenium Copyright Act is garbage. But equally disgusting is this malaise in the online world and especially the PC gaming community that torrents don't f*ck over people and take money out of their pockets. They do. My point was to show that torrenting the box set takes a couple of hundred bucks a month out of Big Wayne's pocket, and he's unemployed.
Most of all, thanks for the support everyone - we'll try to keep doing the show as long as we have a place to do it and we make enough money to buy beer to get producer danny drunk.
Cheers
Lazlow

Pretty fly for a white guy
Man mates - the clothes for men with the best hair ever.
Plus Leisure luxury. Nothing says luxury like a big fruity butterfly.
And a Christmas outfit so you can insure that upon returning to school, kids beat you senseless.

Reaction to post
Wow. We never expected this kind of response to our posting. The comments have been very encouraging. A couple have been angry, calling us "stupid" for considering stopping the show. But overwhelmingly we received a lot of email from people freaked out. We never had any idea that the show meant that much. One email came in to say
Last year, when we were in the thick of GTA4 production, shows were few and far between. Currently it's a hobby that we all do as a laugh. However we would be lying if we said that the piracy of the box set doesn't affect us financially. Thus the post below. I'm not saying we are going to definitely stop doing the show - I'm just saying it's in consideration if the torrent trend continues. We'll obviously discuss it on the next show.
And just to clarify - i have no issue with people copying the show. I buy albums on itunes all the time and make a cd copy to turn someone else on to a band. Someone buying the box set and making a physical copy for a friend isn't an issue with us either - you're turning a friend on to something you like. What we have issue with is bittorrent. And asshats like The Pirate Bay - who get all kinds of glee stealing your work and posting it online for all of creation to take. And their contact page indicates you shouldn't even waste your time contacting them to have copyrighted content taken down. They should be firebombed and their mothers ravaged by a prison gang.
But this just cheered me up immensely:
So maybe their is some justice in the world. Thanks to everyone for all the great emails and support. We'll see you Saturday.
I work a c*%t job as a paver/concretor and the only thing that gets me through the day is hours upon hours of The Lazlow Show I have on my iPod.

But this just cheered me up immensely:
Carl Lundström, one of four men awaiting trial for involvement with file sharing site The Pirate Bay, is among a dozen Swedes at the heart of a tax authorities investigation into funds stashed in a bank trust in Lilliput tax haven Liechtenstein.The Swedish Tax Agency Skatteverket investigation into Swedes with fortunes hidden in a bank in Liechtenstein began in the spring and has so far uncovered hidden sums running into hundreds of millions of kronor and involving up to 40 people, reports Dagens Industri.
Lundström is the most well-known name on the list and is also due to stand trial for copyright infringement in the new year for his alleged financial support of file sharing site The Pirate Bay.
So maybe their is some justice in the world. Thanks to everyone for all the great emails and support. We'll see you Saturday.

The Last Lazlow Show?
Something has changed in the culture on planet Earth in the last 15 years. Suddenly, with everyone connected, a mob hysteria has taken over, and the people have scaled the walls of content providers and set fire and looted an entire economic model. In some cases it's good. In other cases it's very very bad. We're talking entertainment here - not exactly a required element for human existence. TV - radio - movies - video games - newspapers - they are all luxuries, and luxuries that many now believe are necessity and should be free. The change has affected many entertainment providers, who create art, but also create that art to support themselves and that others may enjoy it and pay for the privilege. Record companies are crumbling as the revenue model changes from the album to the per-song-download and nearly every album gets leaked before it even hits shelves. Movies in theaters hit download sites the day they come out. Often before. PC games are pirated on such an astronomical scale that many companies don't bother with non-console games anymore. A blog posting is reposted the world over in minutes. A woman in her living room singing is seen by millions on Youtube. The positive is that the unheard has a forum to be heard by millions. The negative is that millions can take without giving.
This dramatic shift in mentality is affecting every sector of news and entertainment. The New Yorker's James Surowiecki put it very well this month in News You Can Lose when he says
Which is the same situation we find The Lazlow Show in. It has grown in popularity. We have fans all over the world. And we love doing it. Plus the box set sales keep the show going, pay for transportation and food for the show and give Wayne, Reed and I a little extra money at the end of the month. We always post the entire show on the website for people to download for free. When we do a new show, we take the old one down and post the new one. However, a couple of kind souls, showing what big fans they are, have purchased our box set and posted the entire thing on all the torrent sites. Every show we've ever done. It's one thing for fans to record shows and post them for other people. Buying the box set and then letting everyone in creation steal it is another. In fact one fan named mothergoose56 posted the entire box set on Christmas Day as a nice big fat present to the show.
And box set sales have dropped to zero.
I have been mulling this over in the last few weeks as the effects of torrents of the box set have taken hold, and as Surowiecki put it - if the show's profits vanish, so will the product.
The show this coming Saturday could very well be our last for a long time. Wayne is unemployed and working desperately on small jobs to stay afloat. I'm working nights and weekends on a couple of projects and could be focusing on that. Thanks to all the real fans who have supported over the years. I'm sure we'll debate this very subject on the next show, deciding whether it will be our last. See you Saturday night.

"The peculiar fact about the current crisis is that even as big papers have become less profitable they've arguably become more popular....
The real problem for newspapers, in other words, isn't the Internet; it's us. We want access to everything, we want it now, and we want it for free. That's a consumer's dream, but eventually it's going to collide with reality: if newspapers' profits vanish, so will their product."

The Lazlow Show team news
A couple of emails have come in from fans saying that amongst all our railings about how blogs are nonsense, this site has been a bit, well, bloggy. We got off on a tear with the election, and now that it's over and we wait and see if Obama and crew disappoint us like many politicians before them, let's get back to the REAL.
It's a full 2 weeks before the next show, but we've undergone some tragedy among two regulars on the show. And until we fully reveal what's transpired on the show 2 weeks from now, i'll say this: we've experienced a bit of unemployment and blood.
Spinning blades. Spiraling economy.
Find out on the next Lazlow Show Saturday December 6th at 9pm Eastern on XM202 and Sirius 196.
