Until there is a way for me to pay the artist for the work they created, I will continue to ILLEGALLY STEAL it from the RIAA.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19324825 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 19:41:26 EDT Re: What about the artists? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19322974 THoff : So who do you pay for the music? Anyone?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19322974 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 14:09:39 EDT What about the artists? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19318817 PolarBear : Would you pay an extra monthly fee to your ISP for unlimited, legal p2p music downloads?

No. For the same reason I don't buy the music from anywhere else. The artists will never see a cent of my money.

If I could pay artists in a Radiohead-like fashion, THEN I'd pay for my music. But I won't pay the FAA for a flight form Delta, I won't pay the NHTSA for a new car from Ford, I won't pay Avista for my internet, and I won't pay the RIAA for my music.
