"how come the industry builds careers that don't last?"

the riaa has started sending subpoenas to some people. about 1,000 have been sent out recently. here's electronic frontier foundation's how not to get sued by the riaa for file-sharing. use it well.

you know, this new level of lunacy by the riaa is not making me want to buy more crappy albums. they should know better. and i'm not even a downloader - i haven't even downloaded a song in well over a year. but if i did, i'd do it to see if i liked the album. if i liked it, i'd buy it. if there was filler all over the thing like most albums these days, i'd pass. simple enough. stop being so fucking hungry. and give your artists better deals instead of taking all the money. stop holding them up as starving children. our issue is not with giving them the money (i'm more than willing to do so for an artist i like), it's with giving you - the rich owners - the money. you don't need it. they do. lighten up.
