As Universal Media Group CEO Doug Morris said last year, "These devices are just repositories for stolen music, and they all know it."Thats right, all of the music loving world are thieves.
Nobody pays for their music anymore.

There is already a tax on blank media in Canada (21 cents on a CD) which supposedly goes to compensate artists for pirated music.What I want to know is how the artists are getting reimbursed for this. If
any of the money is making its way back to the artist, I'd bet it is only a fraction of what was collected. I've got no doubt that the music company is taking a pretty heavy percentage as 'administration fees' for handling the accounting of proceeds.
These swarmy bastards need to stop lashing out at the consuming public, directly and indirectly. That and they need to get the fuck out of our (collective) governments pockets. I am so tired of big business writing legislation and dictating policy that I could just puke. ......
and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.........my hairy white ass.
God, I hope I live to see the day the Big Four go out of business and musicians start selling direct to the public.
them.....and yes I can say that because over the years I've spent tens and tens of thousands of dollars on my music collection. Lets see, 4000 pieces times 15 bucks each.....
...sorry guys for the mini-rant, this is one of those issues that makes my blood boil.
Oh and please, even though I mentioned politics don't expand on my thoughts too far otherwise this thread could get nuked.
