 HappyBunnyHi. Cram It.Premium join:2001-06-23 Long Beach, CA kudos:1 | Bring back Pirate Radio! The RIAA cannot stand that people have deserted traditional radio in droves. In Los Angeles, there is not one station worth listening to (thanks to ClearChannel). Most of it is now Spanish-language or rap, and since I dont speak Spanish or kick it wit my homies, I am not one to listen to either. They have to be losing gobs of money from traditional radio's impending collapse--if no one is listening, the RIAA isnt selling CDs or charging large royalties. So they are following the music lovers to the internet, which as someone pointed out, has caused them to lose control over what we listen to. This will put the little stations out of business, but the larger ones (VirginRadio for example) will sail on as if nothing happened.
I am sick of the RIAA. I am sick of their bullying tactics and trying to dictate what music I will listen to. I *love* music. They do not. They love money. Therefore, we will never agree. |
