Chinese strangeness

Post by jeff robertson »

Last time I looked at my web server logs, the vast, vast majority of the people downloading my music are in China.

Anybody else noticed anything like this? My guess is they're just downloading anything they can find for free, and also there's just a fuckload of people in China.

Either that, or the Chinese government is out to get me.

They are going to take your songs, perfect them, and sell them as their own. That's the only logical possibility.

Strangely, my most popular song for them seems to be "Interesting Times".

I get tons of hits from Japan and China. Baidu.com is the big domain. I just followed a link to a listing of my songs and it started playing a Deshead song. No wonder my royalty checks aren't adding up!

I'd be more worried about the American Government being out to get you, once they discover that you are obviously a Communist hiding secret messages in your songs
