““Pre-release piracy, in particular, robs musicians of artistic control,
leaving them with no say in when and how their music – which has taken
blood, sweat and tears to produce – is released.”

It takes blood, sweat and tears to make music? Someone must tell these guys how it’s done in the 21 centenary.

1. Open fruity loops.
2. Spend 1/2 hour to an hour to make a music track.
3. Sing Lar, Lar ,Lar off key and out of tune. (99% of artists now days)
4. Run recorded vocal track (the one that’s sounds like 50 dieing cats) through auto tune.
5. join tracks.
6. Mass produce, CTRL + C & CTRL + V 1,000,000 times
7. All done in around an hour or two.

The thing the industry doesn’t get is that, no way in hell I will pay for a copy of a recording, only the master recording. The master recording is the only recording the artist recorded all other copies made from that master recording is just that a cheap knock off.

Every time you purchase music you are propping up this corrupt system that makes criminals out of people just like you. Think about that next time you buy a track on itunes.

Support musicians by buying tickets to see them live. Fuck the RIAA/BPI and the stooge pigs that enforce their bullshit copyright monopoly.

And it’s also completely fine for them to steal the airwaves of radio and tv so that nobody but them can push their music programming across the airwaves. Although tv and radio are in stiff competition with the internet , tv and radio still exist with the sole purpose to promote whatever they want , and only what they want.

If the “victim” paid the robber then yes.

Nope we should all bow down and kneel before the God of region blocking. We should pledge allegience to the fatcat middlemen and accept their region blocking for what is and pre-order music with no sample months before its release. We should not download music from filesharing sites even if the market does not cater for us due to “artistic control”.

…Yeah f*****g right. If the industry isn’t going to cater to us we should bypass them altogether and give them nothing.

They could do that or instead do this:

1. Leak music on forum X
2. Complain loudly about forum X releasing all of your content
3. Sue forum X for $$$
4. Profit!
