Making matters worse, these radio stations often play the best, catchiest song off the album over and over until people get sick of it. Where is the incentive for people to go out and buy the album?" |
lol, they only catch onto this now?????
how long has the friekin radio been around??? no one was complaining 10-20 yrs ago
| quote: | | Continued Rosen: "According to our research, there is one of these Top 40 stations in every major city in the country. This has to be stopped before the music industry's entire economic infrastructure collapses." |
might help if you stop paying them millions of dollars to produce crappy pop records, which can be produced in a day tops
if you ask me the reason why they're losing their money is cause the quality of mainstream music is just shite, and more and more people are turning to less commercial stuff (ie trance), how many one hit wanders do you hear nowdays, they've tried to turn the music industry into a production line, they just constantly churn out the same poppy crap all the time, if they want us to stop stealing their music they should release something worth the 30 or so dollars they charge for cd's nowdays
| quote: | | Eminem said, “I'm sorry; when I worked 9-to-5, I expected to get a paycheck every week. It's the same with music; if I'm putting my heart and all my time into music, I expect to get rewarded for that. I work hard and anybody can just throw a computer up and download my music for free. It could kill the whole purpose of making music." |
correct me if im wrong, but wasnt music developed as a means of self-expression, and the purpose of selling music to share peoples talent with others???
ps i'm talkin about mainstream music hear, for example that stupid fuck eminem, who thinks the purpose of music is to make money
GOD THIS WHOLE TOPIC PISSES ME OFF SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!
