No wait a second? Didn't I hear that the record companies were on the verge of bankruptcy because everyone's stealing music off the Internet? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that if the industry produced innovative quality music,(like the stuff produced during rock's golden age) that actually shows a spark of talent , as opposed to stringing a bunch of profanity together, calling it RAP and charging $20.00 / CD for it, maybe they wouldn't NEED to compalin to congress. Ya think?
My thoughts exactly! I didn't stop buying cds because I burned them off the net. I've never burned a disc of the net before.
If good cds are released, I will purchse them (as I did with Audioslave and Queens of the Stone Age). Those are the only two discs I've purchased this year.
I am soooo sick of Britney, Christina, N-Sync, 50 Cent, Jay-Z and all that rap, R&B, Hip-Hop, kiddie punk (Avril, Good Charlotte) and bubblegum bands. I have gone from buying two discs a week (ten years ago) to two or three a year. It is not piracy, it is that the industry keeps pushing this horrible crap down my throat.
