Fair use!

Typical liberal response by music companies. They fail to realize that the reason they are losing market is that the state of music is crap nowadays along with the music. Further, radio stations have been taken over by corporations who are restrictive that there is no longer freedom of music. Blame the PC but it looks like high time to break the monopoly of corporation on how they control radio markets. With the Internet, musicians can now control and sell their music instead of through the bloodsucking studio/label corporations. Internet radio once broadband is prevalent should give them outlet to play and market their music.

Just what we need: a lesson in morality from Brittany.

I wish I could record a day's work and then sell that recording over and over and over to anyone who needed that day's work done for them.

Before geeks invented sound recording, musicians sang for their supper.

Now technology has come full circle, and it's back to singing for their supper--and those pampered, bloated, overpaid Holyweird types are scared stiff they might have to work for a living!

And why not?

Technology has ruined the careers of other blue collar workers--now it's the turn of entertainers, who after all are nothing but another kind of blue collar worker.

"Would you go into a CD store and steal a CD?" the pop star asks in a TV ad that started airing this month. "It's the same thing, people going into the computers and logging on and stealing our music. It's the exact same thing, so why do it?"

Whoops -- I Did It Again! <|:)~

I'm waiting for the day when the publishing company's industry will suffer. I believe it is just a matter of time, before you'll see bookstores, there with there own laser printers and binders. You could go in, pick a book, and have it printed and binded in a few minuits, or when E-books will catch on in even more popularoty.

Given the way the the entertainment industry goes on getting the copyright expiration period extended, it's hard to have much sympathy with them. When I think that they'll still be getting money for Brittany's records long after I am dead (and probably after Brittany's lifestyle catches up with her, too), it's hard not to be cynical.

The recording industry says I should pay $16. The napsters say I should pay $0. I think the music I want to hear is worth $6.

What am I expected to do?
