Piracy

Well first of all I didn't watch the grammys last night. I had more important things to do like play wolfenstein and watch a hockey game. I'm just reading this article and going "Whatever". I agree with most of you that the record industry hasn't done much but rip the artist off of money. Then again was just talking to a friend of mine and he told me to watch MTV cribs and how some of the artist live....woooooo dang everyone just took away their next wide screen movie theathered TV which they REALLY need and that last car payment on that new Porsche they always wanted. I do sympatize with the artist but at the same time they're not bad off like the former employees of Enron. Hey come to think of that I think the Recording Execs are like the CEOs of Enron. They can go under and they'll still get a 20 million severence.

As for 6000 songs.....6000??? what the crap they probably was downloading like Barry Manalow songs and the exec was dancing in the back going "COBA CABANNA!!!"(or however that song goes tells you how much I listen to him....lol). Six thousands songs in 2 days pa-leeze. I agree with the one guy saying that they should have had a subscription as far as their music because you think of it like this. It would probably cut down on some of the downloads but they can't. It takes away from that 6 million dollar mansion they have in florida. Before mp3's a CD was costing you around 20 bucks then. I can remember once in a while you bought a 20 buck CD for "one" song and you listen to the rest of the CD and it sounds like crap. Then you think "Man I just got JACKED!!!".

Well that was my 2 cents hope I didn't offend the Barry Manalow fans(or is there any I don't know).

... and that's why they're 6 million dollars in the hole in 6 months and have to release a terrible 2nd full length just to hopefully try to keep their exhorbitant spending habits above water. I have no sympathy for mainstream artists. They know what they're getting into when they sign on the dotted line... they see the stacks of money and never think that they will be bankrupt in 2 years because they wanted to buy a viper for each day of the week. Most mainstreamers will step all over you and smaller, lesser known artists to push themselves to the top... trust me, they laugh at you paying 23 bucks for a cd and they use all those 10's and 20's for toilet paper.
