They make all their money through screwing not only the customer but, it would seem, also the artist. If a person is willing to pay a buck for a single mp3 or 15-20 bucks a cd how much of that does the artist actually see? I'm not sure but it would be interesting to find out. I bet all the artists whining about piracy would have to eat their own words when they realized how much the RIAA's "protection racket" is really costing them compared to piracy or even backing up CDs. Here's a good woy to help kill the RIAA monster http://www.mp3search.ru/. My father found this site and has given up buying from anywhere else. $0.10 a hit. I'm not sure but I think they get around the RIAA since they're in Russia. Plus they don't have any of that disgusting copy protection or annoying license files to deal with. It's just a clean mp3. Long live the revolution!
