I haven’t got tons of cash, but I can be very careful what I spend it on now. I don’t have to buy your mass manufactured shite like Hannah Montana or Brittney, I can find “shops” on the net that allow me to buy South Korean Black Metal or Malaysian Death Metal, music so niche that these bands are lucky if they sell 500 copies of their albums, but the net means we cut you out Mr MoneyBags record company exec, I know my money is going straight to the artist.

Tough luck, the boat sailed you weren’t on it!

Y’a pas de Frenchy ici? Quelqu’un sait parler Français? c’est just pour m’aider à utiliser le site Inductry. Je comprend rien.

Ciao

I gotta disagree with you there dude. Aussie music pumps out some really good shit. And I reckon a lot of it just boils down to musical taste anyways… each to his/her own.

Jimmy Barnes moved to Australia when he was 5, he is an Australian citizen. He has done all his singing in Aussie bands from Fraternity in 73 to Cold Chisel, the biggest Oz rock band of the 80′s. He has had 11 number 1 albums in Oz including 8 solo, unmatched by any other musician worldwide.
AND your an ill informed ass.

An attorney does a weeks work and makes $5,000 – $10,000 dollars;

A programmer does a weeks work and makes $800 – $900.

A grasscutter does a weeks work and makes $200 – $300.

None of these guys get paid in perpetuity for their contribution to society.
I don’t think artists, musicians etc. should get special treatment.

This breakdown of the cost of a typical major-label release by the independent market-research firm Almighty Institute of Music Retail shows where the money goes for a new album with a list price of $15.99.

$0.17 Musicians’ unions
$0.80 Packaging/manufacturing
$0.82 Publishing royalties
$0.80 Retail profit
$0.90 Distribution
$1.60 Artists’ royalties
$1.70 Label profit
$2.40 Marketing/promotion
$2.91 Label overhead
$3.89 Retail overhead

I’m an Aussie myself, so…. as a nice F*$k you to the music industry, might I recommend you download Best of Powderfinger? Excellent, excellent rock.

Next, try a little Evermore. Sure, they’re from New Zealand, but hey, that’s Lord of the Rings territory!

Silverchair also have some great rock, as well as Jimmy Barnes.

P.S. Am all for file sharing, I even second/agree with
Mr.Mcdougall and Mr. Nick

Thanks, TorrentFreak.

And those who are only doing it for money, should rather do something else. Like street cleaning. Maybe they have enough talent for that.

> it’s ruining our industry in a way, because I mean you know artists just aren’t making money, record companies aren’t making money from it.”
Dumb bitch. She’s being ripped off, and is too stupid to know it. Google for “orson scott card mp3s are not the devil” for the details.

Now, the stinky business of the MAFIAA is to put a spin onto these concerns that is completely out of tune. They creep around and tell everybody “Downloading music is killing all these nice people here. See for yourself, here is the video.”

The other day (Book Authors See BitTorrent As a Promotional Tool) somebody posted a link to an article by Janis Ian. An interesting read with a different perspective.

in regard to the music industry crashing and burning this will not happen until there is more musicians doing it solo either that or it will not die but be over run by the next generation (one guess who they are) who will take risks and adapt the industry to the 21st century

It contains names, e-mails and organizations these people are working for. The document is public, but is on an obscure site.

Many people are from RIAA, MPAA, IFPI and other criminal organizations.

Surely they wouldn’t purposefully present only a one-sided opinion in a not-so indiscrete attempt to exploit impressionable minds for corporate profits? Nah, parents would never stand for it.

Bring the pest killers and let be done with all these parasites once and for all.

Then the real music will be able to trive. Finally!

Don’t concern yourself as Austalia’s older generations are fucking luddites. Australians are paying for it with their own ignorance.

Every single economic problem ailing the record industry is due to BitTorrents and file-sharing? I guess all of the other issues over the past 50 years just disappeared!

What about a crappy Bush-Economy? Nothing to do with it?

What about repetitive re-mergers, and the sucking out of revenues, by the major record companies? What about labels that drop bands before they even have a chance to develop, depleting the pipeline of upcoming artists? Nothing to do with it?

What about lousy artists who just don’t sell (like Biohazard)? Nothing to do with it?

It’s all just propaganda spin by majors to cover their incompetent tracks.

Girls just want to have fun.

I seriously don’t get how this was allowed.

Should of seen when Kazpar was about to stick their CD on Napster, he pretty much shat on their record label (who in turn shat back on him, bastards).
