If you have a bad business model your business fails. Period, that's how it should work in the free world. |

Here's a crazy idea. How about people stop stealing, pay the fricken 99 cents( hell I was paying that for a 45 single 30 years ago ) If you can't afford that then I think having music is the least of your worries. I hear Burger King is hiring. |

He Einstien if people are downloading music from Amazon or Itunes or even through subscription based companies like Rhapsody the RIAA is getting their cut of that money. So that kind of downloading isn't hurting them. So what kind of downloading could he be referring too? |

said by BF69: I hear Burger King is hiring. Theft? Theft implies I am stealing one object and depriving someone else this object. Or depriving them from the ability to capitalize on this object.
Downloading is duplication of an object. It's arguable whether it's stealing or not.
said by BF69:So that kind of downloading isn't hurting them. So what kind of downloading could he be referring too? It is hurting them, margins are lower and blanket licenses are less profitable than CD sales.
Once again, I re-iterate my point, they're dinosaurs. They don't offer a product people want to pay for, newer artists are choosing to self publish, and like the big three they can't seem make something new people want to buy.
I'm Canadian, and these types of levies are already included on blank media and proposals are being made to include similar levies on ISPs.
I disagree for the same reason people disagree with bailing out the big 3.
Make something people will pay for or fail. Allowing companies to try and fail is what made America great in the first place. Why do you want to change that now? |
