  1. Comment - RIAA Sues 261, Including 12-Year-Old Girl

    There are two underlying problems:

    Most commerical music sucks. Few albums are worth buying. Most have one or two reasonably good songs. The music industry has created a market where "artists" are little more than the flavor of the month.

    CDs are too expensive. CD's are cheaper to produce than albums. The artists only get about $1 a CD. (And then the artists have to pay the recording costs and other "fees".)

    The bottom line: the record companies are greedy bas****s that killed their own "golden goose" and are trying to blame everyone else.
