Aint no 1 want 2 burn these LOCAL artist's music. I don't know why they are complaining so much. The Dine' people want the Blockbuster movies. The Superstar top 40 music. THats what we want. Not Blackfire or some LOCAL band. Navajos are broke these days. As far as I see it, were taking money from the Bilaganis. They took our land so now we take there movies & music. Still doesn't give us our fair share but it's a start. "Diné Pride"
@MrWanderingelk the anti-piracy law was passed last year on the Navajo Nation. DVD/CD piracy is still around , but it's no longer in the public as much as it used to be before the law was passed.
I think that KARMA will take care of you!!! what comes around goes around. you do wrong with the the teachings of your ancestors it will come back on you and or your family. I see all the Navajos try to do Pow wow traditions that is not thier culture they need to go back to thier roots. what dances that were giving to them in the begnning. it sad that you have to take other tirbes tradition and have it on navajo land and then call it your own.
I am a musician and I make all my music available as a free download. I hate this corporate capital money making b.s.! It's not the native way. On the other hand I hate the individual taking the easy route at the expense of others' hard work, that is even a bigger pile of b.s.! In my opinion, music should be free. "Sell a country! Why not sell the air, the great sea, as well as the earth?" - Tecumseh. The same can be said about music.
I agree that these russians ,that they are! their maternal clan is russian on their mothers side. Their father is Dine . Clan wise the Navajo way. They should NOT sing our songs all over the place. What ? are they part of the Hippie Movment. Their followers are New Age,rainbow,lost,but found my way back, at a free blackfire concert. No I'am not and will ever be a fan.
Yeah, people should stop being cheap and just buy the freaking thing. Would you flip hamburgers for free, I dont' think so. We all need money, these guys have media that they give birth to and its up to us to, ultimately, buy whatever it is if we choose.
Well, Moron! These artist's invest a lot of their time and money to produce the MUSIC. How much do you think a drum set costs or studio time? They produce some awesome music and choose to share it with us. If people keep buying pirated CD's these artist's might not be able to afford to make NEW music, or go on tours so we can see them Live. You try driving across the country on CD sales that people are buying at a local flea market for $5.00 It's people like you who are killing the music!
If, everyone really, truly wished to keep duplicates out of peoples hands, say myself. Then, altogether stop trying so hard to be like everyone and release digital EVERYTHING. Stick to vinyl and concerts man. It perpetuates like the dine traditional songs you cats sings in your posted vids...you're not supposed to do that, but, like everyone you figure the technolgy is there, why not? So, I say, the technology is there, why not? Sure is a lot more cost effective than drivin to gallup/flag walmrt
Dude...I have to agree with you about these cats not supposed to be singing traditional songs all over the place. They get no respect from me....Ashiihi Nishli
I can empathize with the artists an their cause. But, piracy laws were introduced to protect corporations and their investments. And not at an independent scale. Unfortunately. And who makes piracy tools? Corporations sell dvd burners and software. So the monetary gain is full circle in our consumer hungry society. Yon cant stop piracy, ever. Jeff is up next with weather....
Money or no money, it's all good. As a matter of fact I am currently listening to BLACKFIRE....and guess what? It's pirated! Woo-hoo! AAArrrggghhh me hardies!
used 2 b that they protested alot of sensitive issues relatin to d navajo people, now they hav2 taka stand on this? Sad, only cuz now they are going up against a people they have tried to represent all these years. Its an action 2protect a means to keep doing what they've been doing even before the internet. They've created a medium pipeline to reach out to the world and all we're doing is beating them down in the process. Such a sad people we are.
Blackfire and the Benally Family are the hugest form of thieves. Not only do they exploit the Navajo Culture, but they use it to make money. I think they need to take a look at what they are doing first then bitch about losing money. What about stealing something you dont even believe in?
@coyoteboy28 I know every member of this band personally. I know their mom and I used to herd sheep for their granny pro bono. They rock 100% They have never exploited anyone or anything in a negative way. Their walking in beauty makes you very jealous. You are full of negativity. The people you hurt will hurt you back. The rest of us will remain stealthy against you. I feel very sorry for you. Just sad, I guess.

We shouldn't commercialize our ways in the first place. Look at what it has done to our people. We are selling out the sacredness of our songs, prayers, and stories. Just read all the twisted litrature about our ways at your local library. Learn from your elders. Your either your true self or just an "apple". Navajoland has become a place of greed through whatever available channel.
blackfire is one of the many great bands out there trying to make a legit buck! but of course most navajos like to freeload off anyone even their family! i hate those bootleggin stands when i go home....its a disgrace and embrassment.
if people love music as much as they say they do why not buy a real album with the quailty sound to make the music sound at its best and support bands especially people of their own kind. so that one day native people would not be looked as LAZY FREELOADERs but people who have talent and support their own people.
arent we suppose to be a sovreign group and be able to support and take care of each other and not stab people who are trying to do good in the back? then again with a NN pres that we have...where is the example. i hope i make sense. i am glad someone had the brains and the idea and the courage and talent to stand up and say that piracy is damanging and is a big issue. good work shonie777 well done and put together!....sorry this was a long one.
