In what universe do you have to spend $15 on an album? There plenty of albums you can buy on Amazon (brand new) for $3-$8, and that’s just Amazon. Buying an album on iTunes isn’t even $15. Plus the majority of people don’t even buy full albums anymore. They’ll just buy (download) single songs of preference. So is it really that difficult to give up coffee for one or two days to buy some music you claim to “love?”

Because of file sharing, I got to listen to two groups I never knew even existed.

“Hookfoot” and “Illinois Speed Press” I bought a copy of “Hookfoot” from some place in Germany. Legally! Still looking for the other :~)

As with all things donated I don’t agree with donations of any sort. I like subscriptions but I want all the content from around the world no more not available in your country. Then I will be buying a subscription without malice. Right now I have been using Rdio but all the bloody time I get unavailable on stuff I want to listen to because it is from a different country. But the moron who named himself PayForWhatYouOwn_THIEF! needs to put down his bible and stop being a hypocrite and once he’s done that he can begin to pay back all the people he’s screwed over and apologize for the mean shit he’s said about anyone in his life then bend over kiss my ass and fuck off. You obviously have no concept of forward thinking. The industry has been changed because the people started a revolution and that’s how a lot of changes take place. The mob has lost their grip on the music industry time to invest your drug money and human trafficking dollars into new innovated ideas explained in this wonderfully written article.

And it’s always been that way.

Even in the halcyon days of pre-Napster, it was 2% of artists who made mega-bux and 98% who, to quote tribe called quest, ‘didn’t recoup, more soup with your meal? that’s the for real when you get a record deal.’

They are not dinosaurs, they are criminals looking to hold back human progress and free speech so they can con people into buying their bilge.

Did you know there was a time far in the distant past when people actually sat down and read through entire books? Crazy, I know..

well if people want to pay me to promote ‘a few unreleased songs’ from a future release… I’m all for it.. I’ve always said ‘free’ is just promotion… and really the killers these days are folks who use youtubemp3 converters not torrent uploaders.. plus now major bands can also skip all the bullshit of releasing a physical CD where they get 2% per sale and use itiunes and get up to 60% per sale… so inbetween 2% and 60% is the ‘free’ range… well who wins really… Everyone! the free folks get what they want the itune folks make the Artist more money regardless of the few percent of Free snatching… sure beats the old days of radio recording and the dodgy 2% payment….
So the whingers who complain about folks uploading! 2 words…. Get Stuffed..
it’s about the artist not you greedy f*cks…
