I discovered during Napster's short lifspan 2 great bands(Shamall and The Gathering Field, they both have online site/shops/samples) that the RIAA has missed, since they do not belong to the organizaion, are they also going to be infringed on by the RIAA??? Seems to me the B/S the RIAA spreading about losses of revenues on artist and spreading the load between all artists in their stable is really stinking load of manure. Since Metalica and the RIAA have taken arms up on the mp3 downloaders and servers, I have not purchased a single new CD to, in my way a silent protest of their actions, I have bought thru 2nd hand sources(i.e. pawn shops, used music, goodwill and others). I have purchased a few new CD's, but from only direct artist site(non-RIAA), but until the RIAA(Major labels included) withdraw their persecution of end users(which is the same thing they are doing legally also selling new CD's at outrageous prices), I for one will not support them in their legal fund.
Purchase Direct from the Artist, not the RIAA and their Stooges. Boycott the Bastards!!
