You know it seems like the artist doesn't even have a choice on whether their music can be shared on the internet once they're signed to a label. If your label is against file sharing then it's automatically assumed that you as an individual artist are against it as well.
I think that the majority of EDM listeners discovered the music due to the internet. I know that is how I found it. It's kind of sick how America is, the media plays only want they want you to hear and nothing else. In the city I live in rarely will you hear a dance tune being played on the radio. The only time I used to be able to catch any form of dance on the radio a few years ago was on the local pop station's "Open House Party" Saturday nights.
Fast forward to the same radio show today and it consists mainly of hip-hop/rap. |

LMAO that made me laugh so hard. :haha: Nice one Boomer
If the RIAA keep doing stuff like this here in America I see the music industry just collapsing in on itself. These old s at the RIAA need to learn how to adapt to the changing times and not try to scare everyone into actually buying the trash that most of these record labels put out. |

Some choice words for the RIAA:
Verpisst euch!
Allez vous faire foutre!
Vedä käteen!
Haut ab!
and in words you can understand...
FECK OFF, WANKERS!!:whip: |

As far as I'm aware, the dance scene in America isn't all that big anyway. The music industry in the U.S. mainly comprises of rock and hip-hop. What are the RIAA trying to do, kill it completely??

Just to make it that more funny, during the superbowl one of the Pepsi ads will have kids on it that were previously sued by the RIAA. Apparently they will blab why it's wrong and that the RIAA is the supreme entity of the universe... Meanwhile, Pepsi will plug it's relation with iTunes and the 100,000,000 free song game pieces it just flooded the market with on bottled products.
Poor exploited children... |

hey there, wait a second
it's the uncopyrighted dj mixes they're trying to put an end on. not the real compilations where dj's/labels pay royalties to get the tracks there. distributing a mix with a copyrighted track is obviously illegal. though most artists won't give a . |

| i figured the RIAA only worked with large music corporations like Soma or all those major hip hop labels. if mix cd's are licensed under independent labels or labels overseas that arent in conjunction with the RIAA, what do they care? im pretty skeptical about that article, but then again, nightclubs and places where dance music thrives in america are being shutdown ie. laws like the R.A.V.E Act. :conf: :mad: :( |
