personally, i think it's all over for them....
Its like witnessing the last dying convulsions of a wounded beast.sure they have all the money.
sure they can have laws changed due to well healed lobbyists..doesnt change the simple fact that the cat is now out of the bag, and will never go back in.
people like to listen to music.
and people like to play music for an audience, and make a living at it.somehow, this beast RIAA set themselves up as a fatcat middleman between artist and audience.
overcharging for everything, and giving both sides little in return.their cries of foul play, and unfair are falling on my deaf ears.
mosts artists will tell you that the majority of their money is gained through live performances, and royalties..
the actual mula from record sales they receive is pretty paltry.so.
like ive said before,
consider this like pull radio.
if i want to hear a song, like...say..
'shes an easy lover' by phil collins from back in the day, i can just download it, and hear it in about a minute.however, if an artist i truly dig comes out with a new CD, like SAYBIA (just got it today)
i'll go to the store and buy it..support the artists you dig...
see them play live if you can...but screw the RIAA..
