Re: Color me gone

You are wrong, ALL music has royalties that need to be paid. It's only a few cents per song played, but for every song you hear on your radio, albeit FM, AM, XM, Sirius..... money is being moved from the radio station to the company who holds the royalty rights, which in turn gives part back to the artist.

Don't like Willie Nelson because he is a left wing country hippie that smokes pot? TOO BAD, you are supporting his music by paying for satellite radio.

c'mon really.... pretty much EVERY subscription you pay for, newspapers, cable TV, satellite, internet, online services, your POOL cleaner or GARDNER that you pay on a monthly basis will spend money on SOMETHING you don't like. You really got to take that with a grain of salt, or you are going to be very bitter.

In theory that may be whats supposed to happen, and if it 100% happened I wouldn't and alot of people probably wouldn't have an issue.

BUT.....

Enter corporate greed and lack of ethics and we have the music industries gestapo stormtroopers .. R I A A

When the $ might pay for CD, no DRM'd MP3, etc. goes from me to the artist. Fine. Till then. The system doesn't work that way. If it did we wouldn't see the endless stream of x suing for royalties from the record companies. And in the rare cases where the scumbags actually pay up, the amount that reaches the "artist(s)" is a pittance of what it should be. $0.90 of every $1 should goto the artists. The remaining $0.10 the scumbag record companies, managers, handlers can fight it out over.
