cd sales amount to less than 5% of an artists salary.

 

I mentioned this in the "Thursday" thread.



It's becomming few and far between to find a band passionate about their music, and for the music to actually be good at the same time.



Hence, I haven't had an urge to buy any music CD lately.



Cept Thursday's new album



Pirating/Burning CD's doesn't really hurt the artist nearly as much as the recording industry, most bands make $$$ off touring

 

i know not many people may be fans of eminem but thats one of the reasons his cds sell, almost every track on it is a blockbuster single eventually, except for the side skits of course, and if it isnt a huge single it's at least considered a fave by the listeners. When i listen to eminem cds i can listen through almost the whole thing without skipping a song, same thing with the 50cent album get rich or die trying.



hell thats why only a couple techno mix cds sell very well, cause most of the time there are only a few truly good/great songs on them.

Where da haxxors at haxing the RIAA mainframes?

 

An example of what? I mean time warners cable service and aol have download services, and this person was paying for the kazaa pay service. Thus why is kazaa pay company not sued for illegal music or why is the girl being sued?

 

The RIAA seems to be pissing off teens. Teens are rebilious, and like to do what they're not supposed to do. Also, many teens are computer literate. Therefore, many music swapping sites will pop up, considering the amount of attention free music swapping is getting.



My friend has a theory, that a virus is being spread through traded music. I think that's the only way people would stop, if the RIAA hired hackers to put viruses in traded music.



I buy CD's just because I know for a fact the quality is good, and I'm too lazy to download music, check it's quality, organize it, and burn it to CD.

 

maybe to show that age wont matter, be it a kid or a adult they

will come after you



or maybe she is just a filthy little *****, who knows.

 

As far as I know kazaa isn't a sight that has rights to the songs you can find on their. They are only charging for the service. I bet they figured if they charge people then they will think it was being downloaded legally.
