Kylie Minogue: going online
p2pnet news | Music:- While Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG bitch and whine endlessly about online music, saying the customer is always wrong, Radiohead says the exact opposite and is telling fans ‘Pay us what you think our music is worth!’.
And now Kylie Minogue says she’s releasing her new single online a week before it appears in stores.
She’ll, “join stars embracing the digital revolution that is killing CD salesm” says the Herald Sun.
Rejects from her new album, X, have already been briefly online.
Meanwhile, Radiohead is still scoring from the decision to go straight to their audience, giving the rigid digit to the Big 4 members of the organised music cartel.
The offline release of Radiohead’s In Rainbows is slated for next week and it’s the, “latest wake-up call for a music industry still struggling to deal with the advent of digital music, experts say,” according to Reuters.
But when you snooze, you loose and the Big 4 are still totally unconscious, snoring away with their so-called victory over a 30-year-old Minnesota mum as their latest public relations disaster.
Adds Reuters:
Stars, an indie Canadian rock band known for lush pop songs, made their album, ‘In Our Bedroom After the War,’ available for download on July 10, four days after completion. The CD only became available in stores on September 25.
“We believe that the line between the media and the public is now completely gray,” Stars said in a statement. “What differentiates a commercial radio station from someone adding a song to their Last.fm channel? Or their MySpace page?”
Radiohead’s offline release is slated for December.

The bottom line is that we no longer need these music parasites and I am wondering if we ever needed them.
Bring the dewormer and let get ride of these Universal, Sony/BMG, EMI, Warner plagues and their RIAA, CRIAA CHITIAA CRAPIAA drones! If we maintain a total boycott it might take few months instead of few year still to go for these parasites to stop moving.
Meanwhile we have to obtain compensation to all the victim even if it’s mean shooting down few of these music industry lowlife.
Meanwhile no matter what’s hapen nobody settle! Nobody settle and Nobody settle. If you don’t settle you will never have to pay( If thing get really nasty go BK chapter 7. This is not the end of the world. I know soeone bying an home few month after filling for BK!) But if you settle your money can become unretrivable once these parasites go BK in turn (unless we sell their dead body as food for the fish a distinct possibility)
