Is Piracy Really Killing The Music Industry? No!…

For more than a decade the music industry has claimed that digital piracy is the main cause for the gradual decline in revenues. However, looking at the sales data of the music industry itself shows that the disappointing income might be better explain…

Something else the RIAA doesn’t realize – the people they represent release horrible music. You will never find a good progressive thrash metal album released by Sony BMG – instead, it’ll be Nuclear Blast, Earache, or unsigned.

I doubt RIAA “thinks” like in (But we also think people being able to steal music online is the primary reason). Well then if the would think they would refer to facts, wouldn’t they? But instead they believe, what they want to believe. They sure are on the “blue pill” ;)

The presented graph is misleading and not useful. CD albums are being measured in the same “units” as single download songs. In reality, the digital download section of the graph should be reduced to about 1/20th its size due to the discrepancy in price and amount of content.

The RIAA/MPAA and other insane copyright fanatics believe that *singing* a song out loud for a friend is piracy. Yes, honest to God, they threatened to sue Girl Scouts for singing Happy Birthday (it’s a “public performance” of a “copyrighted work”!)

This is obviously all bullshit. Until they start acting reasonable, it is more respectable to copy stuff online than it is to give them any money.

[...] Perhaps, however, there is an even more basic argument, as I have been reading recently, that piracy is after all not killing the music industry at all – a strange conclusion, given the fact that what most of the negotiating parties seem to [...]

This affect of being able to buy individual songs instead of entire albums is already affecting the way music artists release their albums. Instead of spending most of their production time on a few hits they know will be hits and then slapping the rest on the songs in their to fill space on the cd, now they are giving each song the attention it deserves. Not all artists are guilty of this but it was obvious the ones who did. Specifically pop alternative and rap bands.
