		<description>If they had embraced Napster&#039;s idealology instead of suing them out of existance, then they would have had a better business model instead of relying on lawsuits to punish the consumer for not adhering to that outmolded paradigm.</description>

		<description>At one time, I had no idea what the RIAA was. Then sue&#039;em started. I became interested in what corporations were doing, in particular the alphabet organizations that are the front men for the labels. 

The more I read on them, the more dirty the impression was. I&#039;ve seen articles reported that just amazed me that a business, in business for sales, could be run the way I see them from the outside looking in. Two faced, dirty, slimy, underhanded, thieving, deceiving, only begins to say what I can say in public as to my impressions. 

The carrying on that has been done in the name of music, as an artist I would not want my name associated with. I would fear it would taint me with the same brush as they carry. After all these years of reading what they are willing to stoop to, you could not give me their product for free now. I no longer care what they do as far as music goes. I&#039;d rather game or listen to something that doesn&#039;t run in the payolla land of the eternal replay. 

The artists today are cookie cutter. It sounds just like it came to be, picked from a computer format predicting it should be a hit because one like it was in the past. Actual mastery of the instrument is unknown. Their not musicians, their entertainers and their performances show that. Only thing is once you get out of the visual section of the media, where they have to stand on the grounds of the actual sounds they bring together, it&#039;s ho-hum. Remove the studio with its electronic wonderland of things like making voices in tune on the fly and you rarely get  a group that can carry off a live performance without lip syncing. 

To my utter amazement, it was like what is the big deal with a lip sync on live performance? In otherwords its been done so long they no longer recognize it as false because it is an industry standard now. So its a crutch to make entertainers what they are not and sound professional. Just like voice overs to get that dual sound back up when an singer sings. Not real at all. Yet the fan is expected to pay for this falsity and go enjoy a fake concert. Right. Not what I pay money for. 

Here&#039;s some more news. I didn&#039;t realize just how bad bad was until I dropped off commercial tv with it&#039;s wasteland of advertisement. The irritation of the commercial is beyond belief. You know what is worse? They&#039;ve sold the audience on the idea that it must be there to reduce the expense of the broadcast. ???

When did they lower prices so that it would reflect the extra money coming in that advertising gives? Mystery to me, bet it is to you too. Truth is, it was never lowered. It&#039;s a second income on top of the first one. One they will protect till the cows come home with all sorts of reasons but never own up to the real one. We&#039;re getting paid twice for the same thing is the real reason. Since I got out of  hearing, seeing, listening to the commercial, my time is my own. I don&#039;t have to put up with it and I sure don&#039;t miss it. 

I hope the music labels get hungry, really hungry. Because as it is now, they are not hungry enough to be willing to make real changes. Until they are, they will continue down this idiotic  path that I want nothing to do with. There&#039;s not many products you can buy that may come with an addon warning that for spending your money on the product, you might be sued in the end for what you do with it. Not much of a sales pitch to do business with them is it?</description>

		<description>&quot;ANYBODY could have told them that the lawsuits wouldnât have worked five years ago&quot;

Every body told then that at the time but they are just a bunch of old neocon crap who think that they know every thing and are smarter than everyone.

OBVIOUSLY!

If at least they were not just a bunch of criminals sociopaths!  Now we have to get ride of them.</description>
