Artists Strive To Wrest Rights From Music Industry
eldavojohn writes "The funny thing about the RIAA & BPI is that the artists are just as tired as the fans with how online music is being handled. So they're trying something new called the Featured Artists' Coalition. FAC's site states in their charter: 'We believe that all music artistes should control their destiny because ultimately it is their art and endeavors that create the pleasure and emotion enjoyed by so many.' As digital releases are increasing, the artists aren't seeing any more money. With the advent of online distribution, are the traditional music industry functions of promotion, samples, radio, and marketing now nothing but costly overhead for the artists? From Iron Maiden to Kate Nash to Radiohead, some big names are backing this new organization."
So, SUEW.

Yakko, Wakko (and Dot) would never have anything to do with THOSE people!
... actually it's not offtopic since it refers to a tag on this story - but why are all the stories now being tagged 'story?' What's it going to be next? Tagging them with 'words?'
Drill baby drill - on Mars
If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts...this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States...better heed this and pray about it and share it.
Who is Sarah Palin?
U. S. Vice-Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin was born in Wasilla, Alaska, to Charles R. Sheath, a white (not French) CANADIAN from Vancouver, British Columbia and Sarah Sheath, an American from Wasilla. Palin's parents met at the University of Alaska.
When Palin was two years old, her parents divorced. Her father returned to Canada . Her mother then married Roy Martin, a RADICAL Canadian from Manitoba. When Palin was 6 years old, the family relocated to Ottawa. Palin attended a CANADIAN school in Ottawa. She also spent two years in a Catholic school.
Palin takes great care to conceal the fact that she is a Canadian. She is quick to point out that, "She was once a Canadian, but that she also attended Catholic school." Palin's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that she is not Canadian.
Palin's introduction to ice hockey came via her father, and this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Palin returned to Vancouver soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his daughter's education.
Roy Martin, the second husband of Palin's mother, Sarah Sheath, introduced his stepdaughter to Molson Golden and moose hunting. Palin was enrolled in a Canuck school in Ottawa. Canuckism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Canadian terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the US. Since it is politically expedient to be an AMERICAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Sarah Palin has maintained her US citizenship in an attempt to downplay her Canadian background. ALSO, keep in mind that when she was sworn into office she DID NOT use the Alaskan Constitution, but instead the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Sarah Palin will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will she show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Palin turns her back to the flag and slouches.
Let us all remain alert concerning Palin's possible place in the chain of Presidential succession.
The Canadians have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States , one of their own!!!!
