RIAA Can't Touch Canada

the music industry wouldnt have a problem if they made good music cds and when they did make a music cd to make sure more than 1 of the 14 songs is worth listening to.

i got tired a while ago with the whole buy a cd and get 1 good song and get 13 others that sound like bob denver singing bluegrass no matter what music genre it is.

Well that is what the RIAA says, but maybe there is more to it than that? I tend to think it is because of the economy, outrageous prices, and crappy mainstream music. I myself don't like to take a chance to drop $15 on a cd if I don't know if everything on it is good. At least with downloading mp3s I can find out if it's worth buying.

We've got a new axis of evil then.

Your points are true, JJ86, but that's hardly going to be a justification used by the RIAA. Saying that people downloading music is a good scapegoat because it's much easier, everybody does it, and because it's something that can be proven, while the other things you mentioned can not.

Hey I have a novel idea, how about the music industry quits leeching off bands successes, bands start printing their own CD's, and make some money from gigs, band mercandise, and gig bought cd's ?

maybe this will start weeding out shitty corporate bands like nsync,backstreet boys and ol' lesbian britney spears

On a number of times ive forked out over a hundred dollars (Au) to go see a band live, plus i usually grab a band tshirt, and check out supporting bands.

The music industry is just scared because the gravy train theyve built over the years is coming to its final stop with file sharing, and it looks like they'll have to find new jobs....

Yeah jobs that actually require skills.

They're called Magic Eye puzzles, popular in the mid-90s (unless of course you're referring to the goatse instead, but I think you, of all people, should be well acquainted with Mr. Goatse).

'course... it's my fault it's so wide.

Thx, I found a bunch of them.

Goatse is hardly gross. Personally I find it kinda funny. If you want gross, look elsewhere in the wasteland. If you can't take it, you are indeed a pansy.

STOP WITH THE GOATSE

and I think the music industry problem is that the number of pop bands is increasing WAY MORE than the number of people buying music.

back in the days we copied music tapes
now we copy cds
same thing!

it's only we have like 14 boys band, 44 whore singing pop, 99 whores singing r&b, hundreds of rapper rapping(raping) same old crap, a shitload of OH SHIT I HEAR THE ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!!!111!1111oneone punk bands, NU metal BS, and it goes on and on
