| If it involves money of any kind that is not going to a friend for risking his ISP for d/ling it a burning it for you DON'T DO IT. The RIAA MUST be put out of business. Sorry artists. We love you still. Be your own boss. Your music is good enough that you don't need those PIGS to sell it for you and take your profits. START A WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN ORDER YOUR LATEST CD. It is the information age and prime time to go into entrapenuerhip(?). | |

| Dang, I didn't see your post - I was out at the music store buying Willie Nelson and Bob Schneider CDs, and looking for anything that I don't own by BareNaked Ladies.

| I don't find it hard to not buy overpriced CDs. And I think that is why filetrading is so rampant. Oh, another reason is, YOU CANT BUY MP3'S LEGALLY(yes i know there are a few services cropping up, buy they suck). 'ooooh, mp3s bad, they can be copied' yeah, but so can any other digital format, except for that DRM crap that noone in their right mind is going to use.
The image of the RIAA gets worse and worse every day. Wow, almost like M$. It's only a matter of time before these evil empires come crashing down. It's sad to see corporations that are so greedy, caring more about the profit margin rather than customer satisfaction/trust or quality products.
Bottom line, give the customers what they want. A flat rate subscription service where you can download MP3's and do whatever you want with them(meaning use them in anything you want, not share them). Maybe if something like this was widely available people wouldnt be so inclined to 'steal' music. | |

| What aboot USED CDs? I mean, someone's already paid the record execs for them, once... The bands won't see a dime of royalties from it (so Metallica can shut their penny-whining pieholes) and you can get them for around half the price of a new CD? Almost every big CD store I shop at carries used CDs... okay, so the selections isn't nearly as good, but... | |

Did you know there was a time the industry was going after royalties on used CDs?!! Sort of a double-taxation. I dont know if that's still being pursued. | |

| SCREW them. I hate greedy a$$ companies. I'm sorry MR. CEO if you cannot buy that LExus you wanted or that house on the hill with 8 bedrooms. Musicians are so greedy. No one gave a damn when we pay $18 for a CD and the musician gets $1 for every CD sold. Musicians make the REAL money off videos, shows and tours. Bottomline.
NOW. CEO's put that in you RIAA and download this @!$% ya!!!!!! | |
