| said by rid0617  :When will the RIAA just wake up and realize they have garbage for a product, the price is over rated and sales are down for one reason. No one wants to buy the garbage? I love all these quotes how much they are losing when they can't even put a finger on the exact amount being downloaded. Just look at the significant ramp-up in the number of one-hit wonders that RIAA labels have now compared to even five years ago, much less ten or more years ago.
Much like Hollywood, RIAA is shit scared of trying anything actually brand new, so what do they do? Take someone that looks mildly attractive and wrote a few words together on a cocktail napkin, airbrush the hell out of their photos and resample the hell out of their voice samples to prefabricated loops, and you have something your 12-year-old spoiled brats go positively nuts for, driving their parents insane until they purchase them that $25 music CD that's rootkitted to hell and back.
Then once the hit's over, the "artist" in this case now realizes that the contract was for about half a dozen of these. If they're smart (and few are), they then choose to put out remixes of their work that are an attempt to sound like original, new works, and thus a new album. Repeat ad nauseum. |
