I agree totally. When all your friends at school are talking about all this great music they are listening to and you know mom and dad are doing all they can to put food on the table, the last thing they are going to do is give you money for a new CD. You have a computer and your friends give you a website to go to for free music, what else are you going to do. She is a teenager and wants to fit in and be included. You don't stop and hunt for the fine print, you do what everyone else is doing. Musicians get paid enough for concerts and cd's and public events, the last thing they need to do is complain they dont have enough money and start coming after fans who they wanted to perform for in the first place. As for the RIAA they are rich enough to. If you ask me they are ten times worse then the lawyers they pay. I hope someday they realize what they are doing and it makes the rest of their lives miserable. I doubt that will happen though, they will continue living in the lap of luxery off all the people they screwed and ruined the lives of.
I agree 100%. In this day and age parents are doing all they can to keep a roof over top and food on the table. Who has the money to give the kids to go out and buy all these expensive CD's. The day the government helps out the little people so everyone can own a sidewalk, and not be afraid of being sued because someone fell on it, is the day I will start believing in the Good Old Uncle Sam again. As for the musicians out there, they are entertainers, if they dont think they make enough money let them walk a day in the shoes of a single parent just trying to survive life. Maybe then they will wake up and smell the coffee. I think if they sign up to entertain by all means do so. If it were not for the kids out there they wouldnt have a career.
