Re: Hmm
Maybe it would be better to have a higher price tag like $10+ as long as the money goes to the artists and not the pockets of RIAA & MPAA etc. |

| Trust me when I tell you that the artists will see some of this money right about the same time a formation of pigs takes to the air down the street in front of my apartment.
I worked 27 years in the music biz and I know that in formulating this genius idea, the thought of the artist's compensation rarely or never crossed their minds.
The lawyers are just interested in their billable hours, the executives their compensation and stock prices and the music biz dweebs, getting their expense account budgets back up to what they once were.
Note: There is very little facetiousness in this post. |

This is all about the record companies. That said I don't think this is such a bad idea.
It would kill Itunes I would think.
Hmmmm, got to be some horrible catch somewhere. ???? |
