Crushing Krisis

As you read Crushing Krisis, please note the following:

.

All content is written by me unless disclaimed otherwise.

i.e., I am the sole author of this blog, and its content is original (unless I say it’s not). If I have mistakenly excerpted a piece of your content or your copyrighted image, please let me know.

.

The opinions expressed are my own and do not represent the positions of my current or former employers or bands.

Self-explanatory, yes?

.

Posts are published at times convenient to me and my editorial calendar, and may have been published automatically without my intervention or have had their timestamps altered.

i.e., The blog may appear to be active while I am at work, asleep, or otherwise indisposed. You might even see a post that was published while I was verifiably in a meeting or at home sick – that doesn’t mean I wasn’t at the meeting or sick! I plan around those things, when necessary.

.

Comments remain the intellectual property of their authors, but may be re-published or moderated per my editorial discretion. I will provide credit to the author whenever possible.

i.e., Your words and thoughts belong to you, but I might refer to them in posts. Also, I occasionally need to edit comments – usually to redact personal information.

.

Links to external sites selling products or services may be affiliate links.

i.e., I may use special referrer links to preferred web vendors when I refer you to something you can buy so that I can benefit from your purchase. The most common example of this is my using Amazon affiliate links when I refer to books or music. I’ll never link you to something that will specifically upcharge you for my own profit, but I may not be referring you to the cheapest vendor (unless I said that specifically). Profits from affiliate links help to pay for CK, which I prefer to keep ad-free.

.

I may blog about products, service, or other experiences that were discounted or provided at no cost due to my career or my blogging. If I review, rate, or recommend that item I will disclose or disclaim my relationship. However, I may refer to the item in passing without a specific disclosure.

i.e., If I endorse something I will let you know if I received special treatment that may have affected my opinion due to my occupation or being a blogger. If I just reference it in the course of a larger story, I might not say anything.

.

I may blog about promoters, artists, performers, or events who I have a personal and/or business relationship with in the capacity of organizing, marketing, booking, or performing. I am sometimes furnished free or bartered admission, participation, or products as a result of those relationships. All of that is a part of my experiences as a performer and active social media user, and posts might not include a specific disclosure unless I received special treatment explicitly so that I would blog about the experience.

i.e., I occasionally get free stuff or opportunities as a result of my daily life as a musician and active social media user. For example, sometimes a musician gives me a CD for free, or I am on the guest list of a local event because I know someone from Twitter. I can’t disclose every one of those relationships! Generally, if I am blogging positively about an something, it means I actually like it.
