columbia records is doing this same thing to craving theo. signed them when the locals went nuts over their song.. and thats it. their site hasnt changed in as long as i can remember. and the moderator on their messege board told the users that she had been told (apperently way back as i can see no posts from her or work on the board period) that columbia was dropping them. and moving away from rock altogether.
this was done i would guess for one of tow reasons (perhaps both) the band were huge fans fo alice in chains, and their producer worked with them, and also AIC who is u guessed it staffed at columbia.
or 2. as was said earlier to keep someone else from cashing in. at any rate its not cool.. and IMO those guys are better than a lot of the (crap) bands who actually see money.
THE RIAA IS ALIVE AND WELL BECAUSE OF "PAYOLA" AND NOTHING LESS!
i'll agree! radio? hah!! the radio stations around here suck and all they play is poser punk, rap, or metallica. on the rare occasions i listen to the radio (and not my massive library of ripped CDs on a random cycle) its to CFOX in vancuver canada over the internet. but essentially im happy with the music i have and a rio mp3/wma CD player because as was stated before: music today sucks and i shouldnt have to subject myself to it for hours to find the one or two new bands a year who dont suck!
im sure however that given enough time even my (mostly honestly purchased) ripped music will be some kind of an infringement on something or other.
