smokin5s Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 that's B.S. my opinion is if artists stopped making crap for CD's and had more than 1 song on the CD that was any good then maybe people wouldn't d/l as much... I'll be damned if I'm going to pay 15 dollars for a CD that blows donkey nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraKevin Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 What's even more retarded about this whole situation is the ridiculous prices the RIAA is charging. $7.87 per song? At that rate, a typical CD would only come with 2 songs on it. Besides, you can LEGALLY download music off ITunes for $.99 a song. Why charge 8 times the going rate? Dumb as fuck. -Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 that's the point....it's a penalty not a chance to make it right.

Science Abuse Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 "Obviously I knew it was illegal, but no one got in trouble for it," Barg said. Obviously not a law student.

That's an out of court settlement, they can name their price, and she can counter with $.99/song if she wants. Amazing, they found a way to supplement the money they lose by recording shit by creating a legal means of getting $7/song from a select few people.They're stepping things up? So should we. Boycott every "artist" that supports the RIAA. If they care about the bottom line, they're not artists. If all else fails, we can always resort to violence.
