At least that's what RIAA bets on. And they usually win the bet.
The only stuff we hear on the radio, MTV (aka "shiney things network"), VH1, etc. are all RIAA-signed artists. Hello.. there are TONS of artists that are not signed, and are every bit as talented (even moreso, in many cases) and entertaining as anything RIAA feeds us. So.. if you don't like RIAA practices, go to mp3.com or guitar.com or any of the other sites and find other artists to listen to instead.
All this commotion, just so we can have the 'right' to listen to NSYNC??? c'mon:)
Here's a doosey:
Years ago, before CDs, even before 3.5" diskettes... Customer calls me in a panic, saying there's something wrong with his disk driv. Upon further inquiry, I learned that the customer thought the diskette drive was "full". I visit the customer's desk and dig out 3... THREE.. floppy disks from the guy's floppy drive. His explanation: "I was installing wordstar.. and it said 'insert disk 2'.. and it didn't work so put in disk 3, too".
Her'es an unbelievable one: "What do I do when my mouse falls of it's pad??"
or a 'clift notes' version of the song... Unlike sheet music, TAB indicates nothing of timing, speed, feel, etc. Given that, it'd be virtually impossible to simply pick up a.tab file and start sight-reading it and playing it, without having listened to the original song (over and over again). I'd venture to say that most people wishing to learn a song by TAB, actually own that particular cd, so they -can- listen to it over and over to get it right.
