    I'm saying just because you haven't see a band perform live, it doesn't mean you can't criticize them. Studio albums are indicative of an artist's musical skill and songwriting capabilities. If a band has five albums and I only like one of them, I think it's fair to say that I don't like the band's music. Seeing them live won't change anything.

    Two things:
    1.  We know some bands at least know Monochrome Heaven exists
    2.  While the downloads section is technically illegal as well, this takes it one step further by making money off their hard work.  (both their image and reputation)  It doesn't matter if you aren't using official designs, you are using their name and likeness.  Labels own the rights to a band's likeness, and one of the things we are taught in Business Law at school is that using a person's likeness (a celebrity or band) or trademark/logo (brand logo or band name) is very much a lawsuit waiting to happen.
     
    There are many arguments that sharing music helps keep the community alive, but not so much with making money off of bands without their permission.

    togz reacted to CAT5 in VK and Kpop....why?   
    I'm honestly perplexed and need for the fans of both VK and Kpop to explain to me why so many people find these 2 scenes to be simultaneously appealing. I have my own theories, but I'm interested to find out directly from the fans. I don't think there's anything wrong with listening to music from either scene, but there seems to be a trend of people listening to both almost exclusively, and another trend of people moving to Kpop after they tire of the VK scene. I'm merely curious to find out why this is such a widespread movement...

    The idea of banning discussion about an artist is a very slippery slope.

    If the moderation team invokes a rule stating that an artist cannot be discussed here because we "don't care", that doesn't stop us from clamping down on discussion about any bands we don't really like. I'll be honest in that I don't care for YOHIO, but just because I do not doesn't mean someone else doesn't and they should be free to talk about visual kei in all its forms here, even white-washed kei. I also don't want to institute a rule banning all discussion of western visual kei, since that gets into a sticky discussion about what is visual kei and what isn't. Very few of us here are qualified to even begin that debate and I don't think the result would be very fruitful - just less discussion overall.
     
    Also, YOHIO topics tend to be some of the most interesting on the forum since that's where everyone brings out their Sunday best jokes and memes.

    I would be okay in instituting a rule restricting all YOHIO/western visual kei discussion to Global Music General Discussion.
