RATM are on a Sony label. Cowell makes more money for Sony than anyone else. http://routenote.com/blog/how-much-d...make-for-sony/
This 'grassroots facebook campaign' is bollocks. It is a marketing stunt from Sony.
Quite a clever one and certainly fooled lots of people.
By all means by any music you want. But don't think you're somehow rebelling against anything by purchasing RATM. You are simply giving Sony even more cash.

Well until someone can get a movement effective enough to get people to buy enough copies of some piece of shit independent band to get them to #1, RATM will have to do. Their raging against Simon Cowell, not against Sony. Sony would not want this to happen, because if the machine that is Simon Cowell's ability to get singles to the top of the charts were to be destroyed, they would lose a lot more in the long-run...I don't think THEY would engineer that for a mere short-term gain of RATM single sales.
