Yes, it's about time. Maybe instead of just pointing the finger they should get some more better artists.

Re: NO SHIT!
I totally agree with the music simily isn't very good part. Most of the CD's I buy are ones that have been out for years and I've slowly been buying them to replace my vinyl and 8-tracks.  |

Gee, you think that the "industry would actually LISTEN to their populace considering the Music Biz is all about LISTENING!!

We've been saying the music suxors for waaaaay too long now.  And that P2P DOES NOT "hurt" the industry as much as the street corners of Taiwan where a Boxed Bon Jovi set is $10.

| remenber METAL?
I remenber when there were DIFFERENT kinds or music, not 3. Pop, R&B, Rap. Somehow i dont like any of those three. But years ago before the record industry starting there draconian brainwashing. Music was enjoyable, We had Metal, Alternative, and Dance. You cant find any other genres on the radio, but RB, and pop. XM is about the only thing worth listening to. Wake up Music companies, i havent bought a CD in years. There are many varieties of music aside from britney spears.

| OMG IT'S A REVELATION FROM HEAVEN!
Wow the heavens just opened up and I had a revelation! P2P actually HELPS the music industry in some ways and hardly hurts it others! RIAA have been nothing but bullies to the overall mass public and using lapdogs such as John ASScroft to do their bidding!
Someone preach it high on the mountain tops and low in the vallys. P2P is not the devil!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Sales have dropped because....
1) People can now sample the music online before buying.
2) You can buy individual songs now online instead of the whole CD, just to get one or two songs you like.
3) Because people can now sample music online before buying, they can find out if it's crap or not before they commit to buy it.
All of these add up to consumers can now make wise purchasing decisions on music. Which in turn actually affects the RIAA more as their sales have dropped because people are not buying as much crap music or whole CD's for one or two songs they like. But the folks at the RIAA would have you believe their music is great and that folks are pirating it instead of buying it. |

| Not likely to happen, but.....
The RIAA needs a major overhaul.
1. Stop putting out songs that suck and fire the artists that suck. Bye Justin and Britney.
2. They need to start planning out the future system with a service such as XM. Instead of just listening to some DJ speak lame one-liners and playing a song off of the list you don't want to hear, they need to create a system that is similar to InDemand.
Instead of the station deciding what you want to hear, why not let the consumer decide what they want to hear? If you just want to listen to music, leave an option just to have the station pick for you.
While this is not possible now, it is always good to think ahead. They've not done this and are paying the price right now for not doing so. |

| Stinks in all formats
Bottom line for me is that if music stinks on CD or the radio, it will stink in Mp3 format, stink in Flac format, stink in .ogg format, ...etc
lol, you get the idea.
If I was to download music, it would only be music that I enjoyed listening too. That's the same when I buy used CDs. I only buy music I enjoy listening too.
If music sales do indeed fall, it's because music listeners simply do not want to listen to it. |
