Musicians Get Together For Anti-RIAA Concerts

Posted by chrisd on Wednesday December 19, 2001 @09:30PM from the cannibalism-is-the-answer dept.

DarkZero writes "The Sacramento Bee is currently running an article about several different bands getting together for five concerts to raise money for the Recording Artists Coalition with the express purpose of fighting the RIAA and the unfair treatment of its musicians. The acts lined up include Elton John, Billy Joel, Ozzy Osbourne, Stevie Nick s, The Offspring, The Eagles, Weezer, and plenty of other bands. Good for them. (And for those that are wonderi ng, the RAC's site, ArtistsAgainstPiracy.com, is actually an anti-RIAA and somewhat pro-Napster site, not what you would immediately expect it to be.)"

Look, I don't dislike Metallica's music, and I've bought every damn record they've released (barring some "best of"-collections and special editions); I've even got the original prints of Garage Days Revisited and Garage Days Re-revisited. However, I want to be able to listen to a record before I buy it. AND (most, not just Metallica's) records are at least twice as expensive as they ought to be.
