Musicians vs. RIAA At USA Today

An anonymous reader writes "USA Today has an article about the growing friction between recording artists and the 5 major labels which make up the RIAA. Many issues are covered, including copyright reform, fraudulent accounting on the part of record labels, and how selling a quarter million albums can leave you owing your label $14,000."

I want a physical object. I don't want a CD-R, I want an actual physical disc of some sort.

Um, last time I checked, a CD-R is physical. You're really saying, you want someone else to press/burn it for you. I can understand that, but it doesn't change the physicality of a CD-R.

Actually, I'd kill myself if I weren't different and might do it anyway, seeing how the world is as it is.

Yes I am married. We are partners. I am not her manservant. If your marriage involves slaving for the princess, perhaps this story about a man who divorced his quarrelsome wife, and married a mute will make you feel better. If your marriage will be in trouble if you put your foot down, is it already in trouble.
