2 edits | Charge the RIAA / MPAA And the drama continues.... Someone needs to pull the thorn out of their asses, that's for sure. With all the money they piss away on lobbying, suing, etc, they could be paying their artists decently. Not to mention, they could use this money to produce stuff that was worth a crap. Hell, if they released stuff worth buying, I think most would go out and do so. I know movies I love, I still buy and pay to see. It's just that most that come out aren't worth the time of day. Who the hell wants to drop ten dollars, knowing it'll be no better than a 2 hour time killer. The same with CDs. I've got no problem buying ones I like or the songs I like, but that's a rarity on the CDS. It's been ages since a CD has come out with more than half a cd with good songs. Usually, you got 1 or 2 and the rest crummy fillers. Hence, the pay per mp3 model is just fine. Maybe, they should work on these things, and I bet their profits would rise.
P.S. the AA's have nothing to lose when ISPS get sued into oblivion now do they? If I were an ISP and forced to implement this crap, I'd make the AA's assume all legal responsibility so the class actions would get directed their way. At least most ISPS have common sense to know this is dangerous ground, except ATT... But they've got what's coming as long as immunity isn't handed out. |
