Take a Stand Against the Recording Industry. Support Independent Music. This does not mean you can't support main stream. Main Stream is a popularity ranking, not a copyright. Main Stream Artists such as Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) have broken their RIAA Slave Shackles. Independent Artists who never signed with the RIAA, such as The Methadones -- have national notoriety and do natural tours (I don't know Trent, but the Methadones practice across the street from my house! :-)

Though in the current political arena you must be very careful -- I personally beleive that listening to music online is no more or less "piracy" than when I turn on the radio. Downloading music is no more or less "stealing" than when I use my VCR to record MTV or a cassette tape to record something on FM Broadcast Radio.

So you should support the artists who support these ethics. Buy their albums. Give them your money -- as long as they are not signed by the RIAA. If they are signed -- buy used CDs. Don't have the money? Get cash from selling your used CDs from the same places you're gonna be buying from!

Sometimes you must starve the artists in order to feed them. If you really like an RIAA Musician -- temporarily starve them. Don't put a dime towards them. This will force them to break away from the RIAA. Once they are free -- all the money they get, will be theirs. Not 10% to them and 90% to the greedy RIAA!

I run another YouTube profile under the name legalvideosearch which has a lot more content than this profile does. This profile is to focus on my music and audio productions ONLY.

I'd like to get into the YouTube Partners Program -- which will prove that Independent Artists can stand on their own by way of the Internet and we do not need the RIAA! So please subscribe and add me as a friend!
