I doubt the RIAA and SX could give a hoot. You will be collateral damage in their quest for controlling the internet for music distribution.

Rock on my friend. I, too, am an artist who has benefited more than I could imagine by Pandora. I was getting to the point of writing a similar letter and it’s great to see that you have already gone and done it! Keep the faith, I am right there with you. Good luck with your career. It will thrive!

I haven’t purchased music from and RIAA ‘client’ in more than 7 years. But I’m still able to find great music like Seeing Blind myspace.com/seeingblind and Boys Hit Car boyshitcar.com. Heck, I barely even listen to the radio any more. My back pocket is far, far out of reach of the bloodsucking leeches.

If there’s any consolation to take from the fact that perhaps my favorite website will likely shut down, it’s that big music has shot itself in the foot. Me, I’m prepared. I’ve got a bunker well stocked with munchies, all the music I need, and a backup internet radio site – Slacker, which I recommend you check out – to tide me over and continue the, uh, revolution, against big music.

Big Music knows they are dead ducks.
They are all grasping at straws as they go down.
Their lawyers know it too.

Cheers!

Bravo.

Weaver is living proof that artists can stand up for themselves and prove the lie that SoundExchange speaks for them.
