Re: money
said by s :
Your right!
I will stop listening to the radio, TV and going to Movies!
I will not read the paper or news online.
The only way to make this stop is to stop supporting the ones who make the stuff for us to buy, it's brilliant!
From now on I will only listen to music I make, Movies I make news I make and Books I write. It will be FUN!
Take a page out of Ian Mackeye's, the greatest rock musician of the last decades, book and Do It Yourself
You don't need anyone to make your mind up for you or to make art for you. You can make it. You can engage in your own community of artists and meet people who appreciate ART. Artist's first and foremost care about the communicative dialogue that art introduces. Record labels and product pushers (i.e. mainstream artists) don't care if you care about what they're saying, they just care if you're funding their corrupt lifestyles. They live in idiot fishbowls and do not belong to a community. Support yourself. If you love music, art, film, anything like this, you'll support the artists right down the block who could care less if you DLed their songs or not as long as you came to see them live. |

The sharks in those fishbowls will turn on each other when their food supply dries up or will go belly up when the oxygen pump is turned off.? Hopefully both at the same time.
Local bands probably number into the thousands throughout the U.S on any given night.IMO it's much more enjoyable experience to get out and see them perform.Why sit at home and listen to a RIAA purchased cd by yourself, when you can go have a good time listening to local talent.? Plus there is the added benefit of actually talking to the band members.
When was the last time the RIAA held a concert for charity.? Most local bands, even if their music is not top 40 material will contribute their time and music to raise money to help people in their own community...IE children or adults needing a organ transplant or to help defray medical costs of people in need.When was the last time the RIAA did that for an unknown person living in your hometown.? How much $$$ did the RIAA or it's signed acts contribute in aid to help hurricane Katrina victims? Or will they somehow find a way to sue them for downloading music when the power is out in New Orleans.?

There is that New York for New Orleans concert PPV thing. A PPV thing is not donated by the RIAA.All they are doing is donating it on behalf of the bands,that raised the money.How much money did the RIAA contribute directly out of its own millions.? Not a charity event,not a PPV event,They are not the ones giving personally in these 2 examples you cited.
How much money did the RIAA give from The RIAA's private bank account, as in Walmart gave millions from Walmart it self.Walmart didn't have a sale in order to donate funds.I forgot all that downloading caused the RIAA to lose millions.IMO the RIAA will sue people for sharing songs.What in the world made me think the RIAA itself will just "give" money to a just cause.?
