The music industry is dieing because they're putting out garbage, how many of these people have heard of good bands such as Boris?

The RIAA is DUMB! They cannot comprehend what they are doing to themselves. This guy should look for another job. The RIAA will bankrupt itself soon.

we just dont buy and listen music like we use too...consumers are more focus about buying a single than the all album..the superstore should follows...there's no way you can find a 500 gb hard disk in stores and not a single cyber decks in your music store,right now we are just allowed to do it because of the absence of an alternative.

the mp3 is a wonderfull invention come on before the internet era 1998-99 most of us were buying like 3 or 4 cd's every months...count with me 4 *12= 48 5 years later 48*5=280 280 cd's where do we find the place to put 280 cd's in an appartment..superstore are too conservative they should propose solutions instead of complainting..cyber downloading decks in stores is it to difficult to make? monthly fees where you could have a pass to download the songs you want...

[amilaku]

as long as the genral equipment store are selling 500 gb 800 gb hard disk drive the music and movie industry will be down......artists dont sell anymore...you can find it for free on the net...the music superstore like virgin shud follow the way of downloads instead of selling cd's...why cudnt we find cyberdecks in stores where you just plug your usb key and download your album...they should find a way to bring the consumers back in the stores..and toput cyber downloading decks isa solution..

yes your right they do make money on musicians, but walmart makes money by underpaying employees, you people buy diamonds for your wifes knowing companies like debeers buys from people using slavelabor.

musicians make there money on many things, merch like cds tshirts, posters ect (.07 per cd if your on warner bros, or any other large label. but you gig too, you split the door with the other bands some you make good others not, its a BUISNESS. musicians are glorafied public servants

Why does these studio need money for "R&D"? To me, it sound like a blanket clause to take every available penny out of those deserving of the money (the artists) and misappropriate it.

"MUSICIANS GOT TO EAT TOO"

Hmmm... ironic, considering the industry you are defending pays artists barely any money per CD or iTunes sale, and is being sued for not giving money that was allegedly being sought for them in all these lawsuits.
