What most people seem to forget is that the old napster file sharing system was stealing pure and simple (as is bit torrent and limewire) . Everybody gets on Metallica’s case about that but thats the truth. They should have sued every last one of you fuckers and set an example. You can justify it anyway you want but just because everyone does it doesn’t make it legal. Just listen to your moronic arguements – all designed to justify stealing!! BTW Metallica saying they are going to offer their new songs online doesn’t mean they want you to have it for free – it just means that they are trying to cut out the middle man. As far as people boycotting them to protest their actions – what a fucking joke. Your still a bunch of thieves!!!!!!!!!

//Now, in 2008, Kid Rock is boycotting iTunes because he says that artists are not getting their fair share of the revenue generated by the Apple store. He is annoyed at this ‘old system’ “where iTunes takes the money, the record company takes the money, and they don’t give it to the artists”./

Does he understand that if you pirate the music he doesn’t get any money? Guess he didn’t figure that one out yet./

Omg he does – from live performing as he has said.

Yeah, so the guy who owns the gas station feels it. If you wanna make an omelette, you gotta break a few eggs. If enough gas stations shut down, burn down, whatever, then what? Those nozzles shut off, and eventually that funnel of money to the “diamond crusted HQ’s” shuts off.

By selling corporate-owned gas stations, Exxon/BP/etc. are divesting unprofitable portions of their business. Force ‘em back into it by pinching the middle man then burn ‘em out.

yeah, how is it stealing when nothing is physically lost?
Lost money? What money was there in the first place? Whose to say the person doing the downloading would have bought it anyway?
“I just sold a million records”
well no shit.
People who want physical copies tend to buy things.

just what am i stealing…

place a glass in front of you.
NOW make another one exactly like it and take that and walk away.

The original is still there, what theft occured?

NONE knowledge and ideas should be free and if you want to donate to a movie or music then thats the way it should be NOT forced to pay and prison time for mere copies.

DOWN WIT DA MAN
throw eggs at suits today
become an eggorist…..

Of course, all Kid Rock would have to do is start his own label and follow the paths of Nine Inch Nails or the vast numbers of indie artists out there selling through stores (online and offline) for themselves.

It’s this kind of in-the-box thinking that has screwed the music industry *and* those artists with no concept of what opportunities technology offers them.

“Does he understand that if you pirate the music he doesn’t get any money? Guess he didn’t figure that one out yet.”

Yeah, he gets that. But with filesharing nobody gets any money. Kids get to hear his music, and he makes his money on live shows, which is how he says he wants it.

I never paid much attention to Kid Rock, but, ya know, I think I kinda like him.

He referred to music piracy as ’stealing’ – which is fundamentally wrong and means he didn’t understand what he was talking about…
