Thanks Scott. I was afraid to post because this
pisses me off to no end and I was worried I wouldn't
be clear about it.
So...does everyone get it now? People who have no
right to the publishing or copyrights of these songs,
no permission from the creators of these songs, are
making MONEY off them.
I did not mean to infer that just because they are a
Russian business, they would rip off the consumers.
But indeed...SOMEONE is getting ripped off.
Anyway, there are obviously two belief systems here,
so there's no point to argue.
I also realize that it's the big artists who are
losing out...I highly doubt any of my bands get many
downloads, so it's not money out of our pockets. It
still riles me up, though. I certainly didn't send
them my cds. They got them somehow, uploaded the
songs, and are now selling them. that's bullshit.
Like I said, I'd rather the files were traded for FREE
than someone unauthorized makes money off them.
but anyway...on to something else. maybe any new
stuff people are digging?
