Malvern, AR | Just Do This!!!! Quit buying $15-20 CD's (disks). The RIAA has never lowered prices even though the price to make a CD is less than 5 cents. By doing this you are hurting the Artists directly. NO more Bling Bling in there pockets. Quit paying 25 to 50 bucks to see them in concert. There is not a band worth that. Once artists see the cash slowing down then they start to listen. If they continue to see 2, 3, 4 million come in, then they will not listen.
I suggest using file trading programs, i.e. Audio Galaxy, WinMX, etc.. The problem that the RIAA has is that before we had to trade analog music, whether taped or dubbed, of a lesser quality. Now with the advent of quality technology we can share digital audio. In theory dubbing from my radio to a cassette and dubbing from my satellite to cd is the same thing.
In this age artists make more money than they need, or should receive, IMHO. They don't need 10 Million dollar houses and 10 cars, just because they can still screw you out of 18 bucks for their CD. If prices on CD's went down to $5-8 dollars this would not be an issue, but since the RIAA continues with its "price fixing", then we as consumers have no other option besides paying or trading. This will never be fixed in the short run, this argument will go on for decades.
RIAA shut down Napster, now look there have more P2P programs out than ever before. They will not shut them all down, they are still fighting with Napster and they are DEAD.
