Record labels feed the above bullshit by throwing promotional money at “product” made by pliable fame-seekers and “hit-maker” producers.

P2P comes along and totally fucks up that formula.

It is not about the industry suing customers! It is about people who claim to be “music fans” abusing the rights of artist who create the music. Making a CD for a friend of music you legally own is different than uploading it on a network for millions of people to download! That is called distribution people! The thing that blows my mind is that people think it is their “birth right” to have music for nothing and try to blame the industry for ripping off artists.

Like all industry there are good and bad people but the vast majority of people in music are great people! After reading these comments I really have to laugh! So your boycott is going to break Hollywood? These corporations have withstood the great depression, wall street stock crashes and many other events!

Rather than trying to focus on a ridiculous cause like this why not try focusing on bigger problems we have in this country like the homeless or education? The world would be a better place

Face it, the discretionary income of families are getting worse. They are looking for more bang for the buck. That means the continual rip off like music or poorly made movies will suffer the most. It will not be long I would imagine before we hear Hollydud echoing this same poor sales. Only main difference here is that Hollydud hasn’t been on quite the same rampage that the music industry has with suing their customers and trumpeting about it afterwards.

People are fed up with the greed surrounding the music labels and are telling them so in the best way they can; No Sales.

With these guys you never know, you know!

I am in classical music so sound quality is a premium and frankly compressed wma or mp3 does not cut it. CD bearly make it and I will hapilly switch to a higher resolution format for my big high end monster stereo.

The more outrageous they are the easier it is to bring them down!

Only 3 years ago when trying to tell people about this it was like this:

The 4 majors? What 4 majors? What law suits? Spying on who? How? Copyright what? What Infringment?
Am I infringing? What pirates ? Where? and so forth.

Now they know: Ok! I will not buy any CD or DVD! Howe long we have to do this? Until they are out of business? Ok!

I is working. It is an exponetial mecanism of information propagation.

Yahooooooooooooooooo!

They are almost dead!

Victory is near!

Even if it is just a clever ‘marketing’ ploy, I give an big :HA HA

An increasingly successful boycott has nothing to do with it.
Alienating current and future customers has nothing to do with it.
Alternative forms of entertainment ( independents, consoles etc .)
have nothing to do with it.

It’s ALL because of p2p.

At least, thats what major media will be pumping out on their
owners behalf .. I guarantee it.
