Bigger Bang’s Bigger Bang
p2p news / p2pnet:- A Bigger Bang is The Rolling Stones first studio album in nearly eight years. The album has already gained a certain amount of negative media coverage for its Sweet Neo Con track. Now it’s gaining more unwelcome attention, this time online. The album is up for download at places such as ThePirateBay.org.
The Stones are far from the first to have this happen. In fact, it’s hard to recall any recent album that the industry has managed to keep under wraps until its official release.
Eminem and others have even had to move releases up after they’d appeared online early.
Once again, this comes back to leaks inside the industry, though.
Maybe the RIAA should be tightening up its own ship over suing kids who swap their tracks on Kazaa.

The record industry is completly useless :
)
- bands can earn (lots of) money with live performances
- they can record their songs with home-studios
- they can release the songs on the net (flac-only please, no mp3 shits
- CDs are mostly polution and useless over-waste of oil (the wrapping are really a huge polution issue, think about it…)
- the industry prefers pushing brain-washing shits and more-or-less-politically-correct stuff (I include gansta-rappers in that: they’re not harmful to the system, only very big mouths ah ah)
- they restrict freedoms as much as any other industries (how many bands out there to say “FUCK BUSH” hey they don’t even dare to say “shit” on TV)
- they pushing other countries to apply the same stupid censorship that in the PSA (you can say shit or fuck or show your ass on french tv, why videoclips played in France should be beeped when they have shit/fuck in ‘em ???)
