Re: Greedy business...
said by Subaru  :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. I have Sirius for the car and use them on the internet when not playing my own CD music loaded on the PC.

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. |
