Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Ethical Issue

If you want to make a real difference - don't bother insulting this guy. It's 'cliche' and he's probably heard it all before.

Just tell him the reasons why you don't want your music associated with him.

Tell him you don't agree or identify with his politics and tell him what you do (but not where you work or anything else)
Keep it respectful (something he doesn't expect) and keep it intelligent.


It will give him something to think about on a deeper level, which is what he actually needs.

I've been contacted by someone who wants to use my music on one of his YouTube videos.  Normally I say 'fair enough' and only ask that I am credited, but this thing there is a slight difference.

The guy is an advocate of views I find ethically repugnant.  His stock credit does say that others whose work is credited in his videos do not necessarily agree with his views, etc, but somehow that doesn't seem enough.

Do you think I ought to limit who can use what I produce on the basis of what they are saying?
