Also, I'm not poking fun at you for any reason at all. I'm just trying to correct a factual error on your part. It's nothing more than that.
Lastly, If you can show ANY proof that it's illegal to "illegal to set up a business that gives away for free what is an established market in any area in America", I will concede that you're right. I don't think that you will find it, though. |
So they oughta just be happy for whatever they get? Is that right? Wow, that's what passes as industry support. Disappointing. ha!
No, it's not all that matters "IF" they give time away and destroy other businesses, that is EXACTLY like what Walmart does, come in and drive every other store out of business on price alone. AND PAY THEIR WORKERS SLAVE WAGES... even hook up employees with welfare and food stamps IN THE STORE. Oh my!
You think this place might set a precedent like that for engineers wages in Brooklyn? I hope not.
Ya know, Really, I hope they're doing the right thing, because I will be back in spring, permanently, and if they aren't, I will be sure to give that the appropriate amount of attention from the appropriate people. I don't think Brooklyn would put up with that for long, but, maybe things have changed since I was there last.
I'm still hoping they make it a school.
I look at it like this, NYC and the boroughs thereof, are THE best place to learn recording from all angles, as a musician and as an engineer, you learn best practices there like nowhere else. This place would be a great place to continue teaching them. Maybe they could pull at risk kids from other states for sessions.
