| Re: Record company posse This is the very reason why the RIAA sought protection inclusions in the Patriot Act.
Along the same lines as "unfettered government investigation", they would be able to piggyback on the government to intrude in areas where private companies had never been able to before.
The consequences are truly frightening.

...when was the LAST album any artist released that had even half the tracks worth listening to instead of the customary one hit and 11 fillers we get today...
Well... Let's see... TooL's "Lateralus," the soundtrack from the movie "Magnolia" (by Aimee Mann), Systematic, nonpoint, David Bowie's "Heathen," deftones, the FIFTEEN CD Thelonius Monk "Complete Riverside Recordings," The Cult's "Beyond Good and Evil..." There's TONS of CDs out there that are awesome, start to finish... It's just the fact that you have to pay 18 bucks for 'em is where the problem is... When my older brother got his first CD player in, like, '82 or '83, vinyl was, like, $6.99 and a CD was about $12.99... The record companies all said "Hey, we know it's expensive... Just let the technology take off, and the prices will drop..." ummm... yeah, okay... consider the technology "taken off," now... If my memory serves me correctly, here within the past couple years, the FTC found some record companies guilty of price fixing and ordered them to rectify the situation, yet I'm still paying 18 bucks for CDs... So... in my humble opinion (as a musician of more than 20 years who is in danger of never seeing a dime from some of his music thanks to "piracy"), it's not the quality of content of CDs that is making people steal other people's "intellectual property," it's greedy record exec bastards that wanna pay for the dozen naked Phillipino boys out back buffing their Maseratis with cloth diapers... | |
