My position on all this:

Untill I see CD's hit stores at $0.50 per GOOD song and $0.25 per CRAP song, or untill I can download these at the same price, PLUS untill I KNOW that at least 65% of the $ I pay goes to the ARTISTS and not to the "get RIAA's CEO a new Porsche" fund, Both RIAA, MPAA, and all the recording industries can kiss my @$$. These ppl make like 85% of the profit from record sales (meaning that of the $15 u pay for a CD, $6 MINIMUM is going to forementioned fund. I think that the should make like $0.60 or less. Basically, my goal in posting this message and in everything else I tell people is to cut the CEO's out of my bill for music. They make about $5 MILLION a year, thanks to who? you, me, and every other person who pays them to sit in their ofices and rip us off.
