Symphonyshare

[Kevin C Niven]

I don't know how many people here have joined, but I'd just like to
highly recommend this group. It seems to have taken off and there are
many new and interesting posts.

http://groups.google.com/group/Symphonyshare

I have no affiliation other than being a pleased member.

How so??

[Eric Grunin]

No. Just fine music for those more interested in sharing than
squabbling.

I think if you contact the moderator (or owner or whatever you call
him) he'll straighten things out. I had some similar problems getting
registered, probably due to my own incompetence, which he easily
resolved.

Since then, the group has been a very pleasant experience, remarkably
devoid of the typical yahoos and blowhards.

From time to time you need to log in anew - find the button that says
"Log On to Google Groups", enter your password and you should be taken
to the Symphonyshare home page. I need to do this every few weeks
myself.

There is, happily, no argumentative name-calling and most seem eager
to help with the technical aspects of uploading.

I've put a large handful of items of marginal interest up there. A
few people have been very appreciative and write back giving their
opinions and actually taking the time to say 'thank you.' But, like
many such groups, most just sit there with a handful of 'Gimme' and a
mouthful of 'Much obliged.'

I must say I miss the days when you had to actually have contact with
another person to trade music. You discussed your likes and dislikes
and the merits of the performances traded.

This, they tell me, is progress.

Ray, just try to imagine a father with two young kids and a wife who
just got laid off after ten years at her job, and how grateful he is
for being able to get something for nothing in the brief amount of
free time that he does have. That's my story, and I'm stuck with it
for the time being.

[Kevin C Niven]

Unknown. I haven't seen any posts from you yet. Just lots of good
people posting great recordings without name calling. Nice.

Kevin

[Bob Lombard]

You don't know your owner? BTW, you could modify your words above to
say: "Mostly lots of otherwise good people posting recordings they don't
have distribution rights to, without name calling. Nice?"

[J.Martin]

I would say that is, for the simple reason that more people have more
access to more good music.

No one is forced to participate. Those who would rather exchange
recordings the old way are free to continue doing so. Those who wish
to make comments about the performances are still free to do so. I'm
not sure what the problem is, except perhaps that we lose the sense of
exclusivity we used to have in owning rare recordings.

JM

[Ray]

Aren't radio broadcasts free trade? Operashare is the group where
people post their LP and tape transfers which always impressed me as
being rather questionable, at least in the United States. It was my
understanding that radio broadcasts, as long as they are not sold, can
be shared freely.

[Bob Lombard]

It seems to me that they should be. However, it appears that the 'fair
use' law (doctrine, regulation, whatever it is) in the U.S. permits
copying the broadcast, but not the distribution of that copy; for profit
or not. When the EU implements its 95 year recording copyright change,
which Robert-bis says will be retroactive, many more
copies-of-broadcasts will become, ah, contraband.

I think broadcasts of live performances are not within the aegis of the
RIAA, so I wonder what agency is supposed to enforce the restrictions.
Whatever it is, I don't trust the various governments to continue to
ignore violations. I don't trust the governments in much of anything.

I don't trust the government(s) much, but I trust Big Business even less.

I don't have an owner, so I've no idea who you think you're referring
to. From what I've seen of your posts, however, I think you're the
juvenile. Everyone on Symphonyshare behaves like adults.

Ezio, it sounds like you are talking about Concert Archive, not Symphonyshare. Is this posible? To my knowledge, there have been no significant changes in SShare in quite a while.

[Néstor Castiglione]

Dear Ezio, I’m the moderator for SymphonyShare. My taking the reins of the group had nothing to do with your present problem. Not sure why you’d insinuate a correlation between these events. I only found out about your situation when a mutual friend contacted me about it. It is unfair to say that I stopped to “study” the matter. You know well that we’ve worked together to find a solution for you, but to no avail. On my end, I’ve looked up whether there any tools available to a Google Groups admin that can aid, and have sought help from other SymphonyShare members concerning your problem. (Which other members are also experiencing.) Unfortunately, no solutions have been found.

The log-in problem is on your end, not mine. As I’ve told you numerous times, your membership privileges ought to be fully available to you. However, it seems that the recent Google Groups change may have played a part. The good news is that a number of members who have experienced the same problem as yours have been able to re-enter the group. The bad news is that none of them know how they accomplished this. Therefore I have no advice to give you on how to surmount this matter. All I can say is for you to continue trying what has already been suggested: clearing out your cache of browser cookies, disabling ad-block software, tinker with your browser’s security settings, revert to the old Google Groups format, etc. I understand how frustrating this problem is. Indeed it’s frustrating for me, too. But all options on my end have been exhausted. If I had the means to solve your problem, we wouldn’t be having this discussion now.

What browser are you using and when did you last update it? Your best bet
would be the latest version of the google chrome browser:
https://www.google.co.uk/chrome/
as any changes in security that google has implemented should work
with the latest version of their own browser.

Not sure if it is relevant, but there are plenty of things that don't seem to work in the new version of Google Groups- posting, for instance. Reverting to "classic" alleviates the issues I've found. Not sure if logging in is one of them.

I tried the new version--once. I immediately reverted to the classic
version. It wasn't broke, so I didn't try to fix it.

I have tried also Chrome and I always get error #418 "You are not authorized to access this content" (both new and old versions).


To answer to Norman's mail: I do not think that you have to feel offended (I remember that I allowed the subscription to my Toscaninifriends group with no hesitation, notwithstanding your unsuccessful attempts to understand my exclusion from Symphonyshare). When I ask to Google assistance what #418 error means, the answer is that I have to ask to the administrator of the group as the solution is in his hands.
However, my post is related to another post of July 27th (not mine) of a persons who gets the same message (I interpreted, maybe wrongly, that he was already a member): my reply is just the description of my experience, with no insinuation about you.

Last, but not least, I am a scientist, a physicist, and as a consequence of my job, I do not do, never, hypothesis which are not fully based on direct experience or "scientifically" asserted experience.

I am no more interested to access Symphonyshare, I could live without before, and I can live without now. It is for this reason that I did not disturb you anymore. I just wished to share my experience, without trying to give any accusation to nobody: if you felt offended, I am sorry, but this was never my intention.

For me is a closed question.
