Re: Greedy business...
said by texans20  :Just killed Shoutcast. I've been buying my stuff using stores the legal way, but I think I'm just about to start downloading music. If they can be greedy, so can I. DAMN took the words right out of my mouth... as soon as I heard of this I thought of shoutcast...
I use to listen to shoutcast about 80 hours of a week.. but hardly any now that I have XM and I listen to it at home and in the car.

Darn...i listen to Internet radio on my Treo 700w cell phone via Verizon EVDO...plug it into my car stereo or listen on the go. I've gots my phone(mp3, Internet radio player, camera, video camera, video player) everywhere I go.
Satellite radio doesnt make sense to me. The RIAA can kill Internet radio here but I listen to a lot of out of the states Internet stations.
RIAA=stupid. Kill a business before it truly gets off the ground all for the sake of control and in turn shooting themselves in the foot. |

Sirius makes being stuck in traffic bearable. As for traffic reports in cities where Sirius doesn't cover it, it doesn't matter. All the local stations say is that traffic is a mess, which I already know if I am moving at 2 MPH.
What the RIAA doesn't understand is that if they prevent people from listening to music by killing things like Internet radio, people won't buy music. How is one supposed to find out about new music they might want to buy if they never get to hear it? The 30 second previews on iTunes don't tell you much, either (especially if it is an unfamiliar artist).
There is so much music that can't be heard on local radio stations. Satellite and Internet radio are the best places to hear it.
I know that most of the music I have bought has been as a direct result of something I heard on regular radio, Sirius, or Internet radio.
Of course, if the RIAA succeeds in preventing people from listening to music, they will blame the resulting drop in sales on piracy and just screw things up even more.
I hope that the artists, especially the new ones, can break away from the greedy record labels and RIAA. They are going to get hurt in all of this. |
