Ok.. I've lurked for a while but have to get my .02 in

Here is the problem as I see it.. the RIAA is just the hitman for the money/music companies..the bag men.. the money they collect will go to suing other people not to the artists they are 'representing'.

They didn't file on Napster the companies like BMG, Geffen and Sony did, but the reason the bitch about MP3's is all about money.. the industry is loosing money and needs to blame something other than themselves.. this is an industry that will not evolve....

Here is the kicker.. want lower prices.. then you have to buy the albums that the companies back with capital.. like that flop of Michael Jackson.. that was $100 MILLION in promotion and payouts and mad $18MILLION.. ok my bad math says that we.. as customers have to make up that $82 Million on other albums..

NOT.. I say buy nothing from the companies.. buy from the artists directly.. give them your money.. go see them in concert... enjoy them.. screw the music greed!
