You don't understand, what I say is the final word around here and it should be respected, I'm going to let it slide, but please, be more careful next time. Now, go back to your room.peace and chicken greaseFUNKETEER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funketeer Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Originally posted by southof5th Sorry to be picking on you... But you're not putting $16.99 in the pockets of one music executive...The artists should get theirs, and the people responsible for bringing the artist to you should get theirs (production, marketing, distribution etc).The best solution for music enthusiasts who don't want to fatten the pockets of th non-musicians is for direct distribution over the internet.And yes, the RIAA is hampering this process with scrare mongering tactics. The RIAA happens to be the Recording Industry Asssociation of America (of all things)Media is "monsterizing it" but, in fact...the RIAA is the victim in this whole case...the RIAA still needs to answer to those artists whom depend on it to regulate the industry...otherwise, it goes to shit...heard of ASCAP? BMI? anyone? anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
