What the fuck does that have to do with torrents and stealing music?



Dude this thread is not about "Is the internet a good marketing tool for bands" that is fucking obvious.

If the fans don't pay for the music.... HELLLLOOOOOOooo
Are you slow to understand that if the studios didn't screw over the bands, that if they didn't force the bands hand on every issue, like piracy - which most bands don't have a problem with - because it makes them more money - the bands would stay the band wouldn't hate them for attacking the fans directly....

Why in hell would you stay with anyone that keeps burning your fans? Why would you support an Industry that is dieing because they will not listen to the bands - that is killing the entire Music Industry?

I understand what they are fighting for... it's not what the are fighting against.



Are you talking about all music sales, across everything or just the music industries sales of over priced cd's that the majority of the world was bitching the day CD's came out?

Because overall music 'sales' is far from being down... More bands are selling more music today than ever before in History. The amount of music sold is way up, now if income is down... well, sounds like something was over priced then - and that's how the market works..
