Mathman,

And do the same for every teenager?

Isn't it enough that some of them are giving songs free over the net :D

Then they don't feel all that upset by it, do they?  And yes, I do understand what you are saying, I just find this whole thing (the whole Napster/RIAA Lawsuit/Kazaa/file sharing thing that has been going on for quite some time) to be kind of funny to watch.  Probably due to the fact that I am on the outside looking in.

they did ... a bunch of people felt sorry for her and tossed it back in the Riaa's face and payed the 2k for her and gave her a bunch of other stuff along with extra $$$  she actually made money from this... (i forgot the link but i just read all about it a day or so ago)Google news search i think


"Why don't the artists just give the music away on the web and make it up through concerts, then? Other than the fact that a big portion of the music being stolen is not currently being performed live, that is."

Mp3.com is a site were you can dl music from artists that want there music heard  instead of controled by the money grubbing Riaa ...    

I agree with the fact that the artists need to get back on the road more and perform live .... (stop relying on the Riaa ect..) to make the money for them ... or are they so untalented that they cant perform live...  (this doesnt apply to all the artists)and is just my opinion.

Agreed.. I used to listen to Public Enemy a long time ago.  There is definitely a message in their music.  Nice to see Chuck D around.  

Would be better if we could download individual songs legally and let folks who want the inserts buy albums.  The download could be for a small fee, like a dollar or less (a $14 CD doesn't usually have 14 songs... ).  RIAA needs to evolve or die out.
