The last time they announced this type of action against users of file sharing programs their website was hacked into twice in 10 days. Something tells me they are soon to be hacked into again
The sad part is the artist only receives about .97 on every CD sold. My friend owns a couple of used record stores and about 50 times or more a week employees of the record companies and movie studios come in selling cases of new cd's and dvd's to his stores.......hmm I don't see them doing anything to curb those thefts
Like most users of file sharing if I download a couple of songs from a cd and like it I will go and purchase it(from my friend of course
) but the thing that pisses most consumers off these days is paying $15.00 for 1 song and the remaining songs on a cd are usually SHIT!
What happened to putting an album together that included several great tunes??
Name one Zeppelin,Who,Jethro Tull,Bowie etc. album that only contained one song worth playing and the rest were crap?? I can't think of a one. Maybe it's me but most of the music put out today is SHIT in my opinion, it's like the movie Almost Famous when Lester Bangs tells William Miller he's there to watch the collapse of music as we know it.
Oh well......time to end this rant.......FUCK THE RIAA!!
