    downloading music is theft.


    but there is something worse than theft, its called selling a cd for 20$ and only giving 1$(or less) to the artist.


    Obama if you want to make a "change", disband the RIAA. Then let all those artists sell their music online on their own. The contracts these artists are involved in should be made illegal.

    @Eric Frazer: Record companies have more to do with musical production than artists. They decide what kind of music will sell, audition bands or people that they think have the right image, and then record, market and distribute the music, which is often written by professional songwriters. Do you really think popular music is driven by hungry musicians who want to spread art to the world? No - it's like any other industry, dominated by giant companies with huge marketing swagger.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: Plus, you are forgetting everyone else who is necessary to successfully produce an album - recording studio technicians, make up artists, marketers, agents, stage crew, accountants, supporting musicians, etc. You need to rent retail space to sell the albums and to pay retail employees, or funds to support some electronic distribution system like iTunes. TV and radio stations need money to pay for staff and equipment so that the music can be broadcasted. And there's probably a shitton of stuff that I don't even know exists.


    The point is, that music distribution is expensive. It's also expensive to run advertising campaigns to tell the public what to like. Maybe in a happy fantasy world, some young talent will pull out a guitar and write a song that magically spreads to the whole world. Yeah... that doesn't really happen.

    wouldn't cost so much for music or movies if they didn't have union contracts guaranteeing useless jobs that cost everyone more money. Do they need a dedicated person to get coffee? It's so bad that if you get your own coffee you get in trouble.


    now that is a broken system and we pay the penalties. what happened to the most efficient system winning? This is just the opposite and we pay for it.

    @m-unit: That's a valid point. The argument I was making, though, was that artists themselves are only a small part of the process that it takes to produce, market and distribute music. Getting rid of unions would save money, but it would not be enough to justify artists being paid more than a small fraction of the proceeds from album sales.

    And, yet, the indie band down the street producing albums in their basement and distributing them over iTunes sound just as good, if not better.

    not anymore. its called the internet. music should be about music, not massive profits. If music is good it will spread through word of mouth, social networking and other means.


    @plonk420: I said (or less) right beside 1$, the "or less" section means that it could be less than 1$, thanks for your comment.

    @phoomp: I'm not saying that the most popular music is the best music. The indie band down the street probably does not make much money, if any. It's just that when people think about the "music industry", they should realize that it's a huge corporate blob of which the musicians themselves are only one component.

    @Eric Frazer: Ideals are different from reality. Yes, ideally there should be a free distribution system so everyone can enjoy all sorts of music. In reality, that is not the case. Music should just be about music, but it's not - it's also about money. Ideally, good music will spread through word of mouth, social networking and other means. It does to a certain extent, but these means cannot yet compete with big labels with large marketing budgets. Do you think that Britney Spears is regaining popularity due to talent? No - it's because a record label decided that now is the right time to market her again. In the mean time, there are thousands of talented musicians that we will never hear about, since they weren't at the right audition at the same time.


    While I respect your convictions, I find it difficult to believe that you are that naive.

    After reading the excellent book The Dark Side by Jane Mayer, it is very clear that Dick Cheney is truly that paranoid - much of the decisions made over the last 8 years were due to that very paranoia. This fits his mindset perfectly.

    @Hiroak: Was that last sentence a question or a statement? Some people may say that if you have shot a lot of people on purpose that you are indeed evil, even if you were just following orders. Just think about how many Nazi officers were convicted despite the fact that they were "just following orders" and doing what it took to survive.
