Re: Fight Back said by pnh102:U2 is nothing without its customers. I am sure a fair number of them got to know the group by listening to pirated tracks. Perhaps it is time to remind U2 who made them what they are today (ok, maybe what they were a few years back). 100% agreed. The same goes for all the greedy ass bands like Metallica.
This is one of the big reasons I like purchasing music from smalled bands on iTunes. I feel somewhat confident that when I buy an album from TV on the Radio or Jackson and His Computer Band that some of that money is going to go to the artist, one who deserves it.
I have a lot of respect for Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails because not only does he produce some of the most kick ass music ever, he's also using the internet as a why to literally give his music away for free.
Of course Trent can do this because he's already made lots of money the old fashioned way but at least he isn't greedy and understands what music is really about, unlike trashy ass bands like U2 and Metallica (sorry metallica fans. While they may have once kicked ass as well they're now just cash cows...
It's rather sad and should really anger people who have supported such bands throughout the years only to be slapped in the face like this. |
