“Is suing customers in the best interest of the company?
Is not paying artists their royalties in the best interest of the company?
Why are a members of the RIAA giving a percentage of the earnings to them when we could be using that to develop new artists.”

Please god do not buy any shares of anything! You are so obviously clueless about the music industry by the above statement that you think the RIAA is involved in artist development is so laughable.

Please please please take yourself out of the race.

Then we are stockholders. Imagine the stuff we could stir up at stockholders meetings.

Is suing customers in the best interest of the company?
Is not paying artists their royalties in the best interest of the company?
Why are a members of the RIAA giving a percentage of the earnings to them when we could be using that to develop new artists.

The point being we could bring out the abusive behaviour in a public forum, with the very people whose “income” is derived from the actions odf the company. We could begin to get them asking the questions that could 1) possibly change the direction of the company. 2) Bring players into the battle that have been content to sit on their hands and do nothing. People tend to get passionate when people are “Messing with their rice bowl” so to speak.

And then, if you get enough ppl to purchase shares, then when it comes time to “vote” for the current administration, the shareholder could just vote NO and keep voting no…

Sure it would take more shares, sure they are keeping the majority, but when the shareholds start to speak,something they listen…

considering they spurn their customer base.. sue their friends into bankruptcy, are hemhorraging cash, and refuse to change their unfair and abusive practices to entice new purchasers to their titles i’d say it’s a sure bet to wreck your portfolio.

Ain’t capitalism great!? : )
