Ha ha! You dumb ass! I actually think the record companies are twats for doing this stuff. $220,000 for 24 songs? That's ridiculous! I only posted the link because it's freakin' scary how badly they're screwing people...messing up this woman's life over what would have been $23.76 in music sales? That is the work of a horrible entity.
For the record, I don't generally participate in file-sharing myself, but I also don't think that people sharing files really hurts artists in the long run. When you consider the additional exposure, and the fact that many people, like myself, will still buy the albums if they like the artist enough, then the complaint becomes kind of moot. I've actually discovered a few artists I never would have from a few years back when I was participating in more file sharing. I've since bought every album by Bola, all the stuff I could find by Tom Middleton, and some others.
Why do you make all these ignorant assumptions about me? You've been wrong pretty much every single time, but you do it with such anger and certainty. It's pretty uncalled for. |
