You know the RIAA/Big Music Industry is just looking for a scape goat. They won't accept the fact that they are not "making" music people want to hear anymore because it all sounds the same. They are flooding the market with the same thing over and over year after year. They need to stop trying to blame others for what they are doing wrong. If they want to sell music they need to do a few things.
1. they need to make CDs affordable
2. They need to stop playing the blame game
3. Stop filling with CDs with complete shit no one wants. The single is good but if the rest of the CD sucks people are less likely to buy it. This is cutting into your profits riaa, fix it!
4. Perhaps most important, they need to start putting more money time and effort into finding new talent. Half their argument is that they take a big risk with putting music out there and most really does not sell. Sounds to me like they need to start looking into what they are releasing instead of just signing every celeb with some money and a pair of fake tits. Perhaps they could USE the internet as a trial run for their music before they go pressing CDs. You don't see the car industry releasing 9 out of 10 car models as flops that no one wants. Instead research goes in and while there are a couple of flops here and there they are fewer and farther between.
It comes down to this i think, the riaa members do not want to work for their money they just want you to buy what ever they put out even if there is nothing on the CD.
This really is what it comes down to. Thank you for explaining this. This is the post i wish i could of written. With the riaa it all comes down to one thing, money and specifically who is making it. I am kinda surprised that the riaa hasn't gone after myspace more since that really is allowing some smaller artists to get out.
Look at music that seems to come out of studios now, good Charlotte, fall out boy ect, all have a cookie cutter sound and the studios are good at marketing that. The RIAA isn't about art or protecting art its about money and about making companies richer. Having these big conglomerates of radio stations doesn't seem to help either, as it means there are even less outlets for new and different media.

Kinda, there is a 500 dollar min for each station, broadcast radio doesn't have small stations like this, thats where the big difference is
And this surprises you because...?
When ever i hear a dirt bike i right away think i need to go grab it. Way faster then the car
With the money they are making on it anyway why not?!
I find it ironic that i am sitting on the john while reading this article (at school no less)
I am not sure if "design" is the right word, I think butcher might be more appropriate :P
It is funny, as i am reading this i am sitting next to the bathroom where he recorded his first song. What are the odds?

God lets hope not. That would just be ick i don't even want to think about it
Yes i think they would. That would be more then the profit they make everyday so if they took their sweet old time well that would hurt them
