The execs, managers, mixing engineers, producers, lawyers (oh the humanity!), and hit writers might get a grab at the freebees but I doubt Rufus the mailroom clerk or Betty in accounts receivable are getting anything but donuts on Friday.

They do happen to do a lot of music giveaways by the way. Ever wonder about when a radio station says, "I have the new *insert artist here* CD here for the 35th caller." comes from? Also giveaways have to done for other corporate decision makers like the record and outlet stores and such. Lets not forget that Payola has to come from somewhere. I doubt they would have it as such in their accounting books.

They get their music and movies for free, and you pay for it!

It's part of the "free goods" charge, which is built into the wholesale price of the product, charged to the retailer and passed on to you!

It's a marketing strategy with the purpose of promoting the product to retailers and other industry participants. Don't ask me how promotion occurs when the product is passed out to RIAA or entertainment company employees. Word of mouth? ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5085426 Thu, 21 Nov 2002 15:51:00 EDT Re: Irony http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5085263 garagerock :
