How are live performances copyrighted?

By the way, how would I go about watching the OK show on my dvd player?

You can't unless you have a fancy dvd player like mine :p

And for live performances, the music is already copyrighted.. Why wouldn't it be?.. (Heck, you could in theory even get in trouble for covering another bands music and making money of it).. Plus most venues claim the rights to the shows that are played there.

There's a disclaimer on soundclick about covers. You have to classify the song you're uploading as a "Cover- <genre>" or your account could get wiped out, or something. :shrug:

I have a quick question regarding meditation.

I want to learn to Astral Project, Lucid Dream, the whole deal. I'm going to start off with meditating daily. My question is, when should I meditate? Is there a best time of day to do this?

Thanks

Out of my common sense, I would guess around 4:00 P.M.

The best method I've heard would be to do this;

On a weekend, or any morning where you can have a few hours of peice and quiet, after you wake up, stay in bed, trying to go back to sleep. It may take you an hour or two to do so, but you will go back to sleep. If you've overslept, you'll know that extremely groggy state you get after sleeping for too long. This is exactly what you want. Your mind will be extremely "chill" and your body will probably be extremely lax as well.

I typically meditate before I go to bed, but I sometimes end up falling asleep. It works as well though.

Wait, so I can't play it on my DVD Player? I not only have a DVD Player, but mine also records from the TV, its like a VCR but for DVDs. Is that special enough? :p

Oh, and yeah, okay I know where you are coming from now concerning copyright. Yes, it technically is for a band to play another band's songs. Hell, "Happy Birthday" is under copyright and that gets sung every day. A lot of criminals out there. :p

It might ? hehe, my dvd player reads the same formats as a computer, so I can burn anything from my computer onto a cd and play it on it... It's mucho practical

I've been trying to lucid dream the past couple of nights to no avail. I also have been keeping a dream log, which is something I'd like to do anyway, but last night I couldn't remember any of my dreams. The night before that, though, I think I was really close to lucidity because one of my dreams felt to me like a dream, and they usually don't...I just never came to the full realization in time. :-/

As far as astral projection...I don't know, it still seems like a big whacko kind of deal to me. Or possibly drug-related. I did get a vibrating sensation and a feeling of something pulling out of my body one time, but I was hardly conscious and I could have been imagining it.

Jake you totally just e-dissed me on AIM when I asked "what's new?" and you just left..... now I'm sad, :upset:.

Kage, you have to be hardly conscious to do it, I believe.

He's done that to me before, too!

I sorta had a Lucid Dream the other night. Let's just say it was very, uh.......nice :)

It wasn't too lucid though.

Not to make fun of you guys or anything, but this reminds me of the guys I work with. When we go on break they meditate and try and move there cups with there minds with what they call "the chi-force". It's possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen.

That's stupid. I don't buy into levitation and things like that at all. I don't even believe in astral projection. Lucid dreams are not out of the ordinary at all, though. They're actually a sign of healthy sleep.

Astral Projection(whether I'm actually transporting out of my physical body, or just triggering a different part of my brain) sounds very interesting and fun.

i agree. it also sounds very difficult.

I never got your message. :confused: It may have been when I went to go learn Of Sins and Shadows by S-X. [size=1]Sans solos.[/size]

Kage, yeah, you really have to be like, within inches of sleeping to pull it off. If you're at all close to being fully concious, you may be able to partially get out, but then you'll be like "zomg, I'm out!" I've told you about my whole "arm" expirience, and yeah, I freaked out and just popped back into my body. :p

Well, you can be fully asleep,

the first part of lucid dreams is remembering the dream, practice knowing when to dream, suggested would be to have someone wake you exactly 4 hours after you go to bed when you are REALLY tired, if you were dreaming during the wake, the dream will be remembered. think of this as practice for "remembering when to remember your dreams" (it will be a habit i think) Then as times progress your body will always trigger the REM stages differently, depending on what you are thinking of....i think

how does this all feel, and how do you do it. like do you meditate or what? im talking about astral projection and i dun know how to do it.

Either that, or you could do the dot method, which requires no queer sleeping habits, or another person. :p

Draw a dot on the back of your hand. Every once in a while, you'll catch it out of the corner of your eye every once in a while, and when you do so, think to your self "Am I Dreaming?"

After a while, this will become second nature. Then, sometime in the near future of your dreams, you'll be bound to look down at your hand, and either A)notice that either you have the dot. This will make you think "Am I dreaming?" At which point, you'll basically take over. Or B) Notice that you're not sporting a dot, and realize that you're dreaming.

Read that in it's entirety, without any interruptions and/or multiple times. That way, you'll absorb it all. :)

Another way of trying to dream is to start thinking of a story but don't really finish it, let your mind kind of finish it for you. Or repeat "I will remember my dreams" over and over again. I dunno, I've tried them both and they dun work for me. I've also tried the dream journal, and that dun work either.

Now answer me this anyone, please. Someone just told me that I have to be free of processed foods, nicotine, alchohol, marijuana, and caffeine for a month. and then he said you have to meditate for at least an hour each day.

Wow, interesting thought there. For real.

Me, i'm rather content with the state of my dreams. Sometimes I have really good ones, and the feeling of wanting to remember it wakes me up. Gets my thoughts going, you know? All my other dreams are either not memorable or intersting, hardly ever negative after the fact.

The dot method has not worked for me thusfar...I still have high hopes though.

ok, so no caffeine, no drugs, alcohol, tobacco, I have to excercise everyday, drink orange juice in the morning, drink skim milk at nite, and some other shiet that sounds like a bunch of smoke being blown out of his ***. Is he just bs-ing me or is this all true as well?

Hey what do you all know about chakras?
