-for flash artists, i've noticed that it means "newly-made."
...which i've never understood.
I mean, here we have some songs that don't get much recognition, they will probably take a year to reach a thousand views, really their only hope is to get featured in a popular flash. I'd be perfectly happy to make my song exclusive to the flash or whatever, yet a bunch of artists INSIST on "originallity". They imagine that we, and our portal, exist for their sole benifit, and that it is absolutely no trouble to just whip up a "battle theme" or whatever, at a moments notice. For what? A hundred extra views?
If their flash is any good, it will DEFINATELY gain recognition. I've seen really good audio pieces that can't even break 4 voting average, and are languishing with about sixty views in some forgotten section of a genre.
And don't even get me started on flash-types who use peoples songs without even asking, or recognizing the music artists.
I'm not implying that all flash artists are assholes, I'm only stating that we desreve more respect.
Ah well, i'm outta steam.
End rant.
