What I think really irks me is the egotism behind the music industry's assumption that if the music doesn't have a price tag affixed to it that people will stop making music.

You could unleash righteous fury from the heavens and burn every recording studio to the ground....and someone would write a song about it.
The whole concept that music will stop if their profits are harmed always gives me a good chuckle. Fine. Go away. I'll write my own songs on piano and skip this whole process altogether.
the Record companies aren't making lawnmowers....
Come to think of it, they aren't making anything.
And I'm sorry to Mr. musician who got slighted on his last album, and my sympathy really does primarily lay with the artist, but he could be working in a Steel mill somewhere..... -- -

Nobody screams louder than a thief being robbed! The whole music industry is crooked from the get go. They have and will continue to rob the honest artists and more importantly we the public. Think of how many great artists will never be heard because some fat cat exec does not want to bother itself with anything except the tried and true hooks and progressions. They do not care about art. To them all music is nothing but product. Rich you said it man we can Definitely live without the old entrenched industry leeches. At least in the 50's and early 60's you could still get a group together and if you had a good sound get it aired on the radio. We all know who put an end to that freedom of expression. Thus my point we are being robbed of talent. I hope the death knell is sounding for them.:)

And when you do, I'll make sure to rush out and download it on WinMX! -- -- Someday, I'll be the most powerful Jedi ever.
