For all of you who think that Musicians are losing money because of file sharing...

READ THIS
It is about time more artists start saying the truth about the way the record industry rips people off.

I posted a link to that in another thread about the RIAA recently. It is well worth the time to read it.

I think most of who visit ATOT are well-informed enough to realize the only ones losing any money over file-sharing are the record companies and their billion-dollar executives. Thanks for the article link - very good read.

Yes, its a good read, a bit long though. I read most of it, and it was certainly a "refreshing viewpoint"

great read so far

If you think about it, the music industry should be rejoicing at this new technological advance! Here's a fool-proof way to deliver music to millions who might otherwise never purchase a CD in a store. The cross-marketing opportunities are unbelievable. It's instantaneous, costs are minimal, shipping non-existant?a staggering vehicle for higher earnings and lower costs. Instead, they're running around like chickens with their heads cut off, bleeding on everyone and making no sense. As an alternative to encrypting everything, and tying up money for years (potentially decades) fighting consumer suits demanding their first amendment rights be protected (which have always gone to the consumer, as witness the availability of blank and unencrypted VHS tapes and casettes), why not take a tip from book publishers and writers?
