thoes battles have been done before. the battle of recording music off the radio has been done before. thats why radio stations will talk into the intro of a song or cut off the end a bit. That battle has been faught.

And yes there will always be ways of getting the songs for free, any software imaginable can be found on the internet for free. even the OS itself.

Majority of ppl would do it a legal way if a good legal way was made.

even if a program came out. $10 per month. unlimited song downloads. all of GOOD quality. i'd be all about getting that. i believe most would also. not everyone. theres always the people with the mindset that they can just get everything for free.

I am also one of those people that are "strapped" for cash. But If they did come up with a software that would allow you to download good quality music off the internet for a $10 a month fee. I would be for it too..

I still find it funny how music artists bitch and moan about how they are losing money. To this I say (and it is a pretty big rant ) "You still have more money then what the average worker makes, so shut up!. You go off and show your fancy state of the art houses, then try to say "I need more money to provide for my family". Please, thats a load of bull$hit. My mom is able to provide for my family and the job she has doesn't pay as great as other jobs do. If you have to declare bankruptcy, its your own damn fault."

Jeez, what a rant, heh

Actually to be honest. majority of artists dont really give a flyin hoot.

its the RIAA themselves that are bitching and moaning. They want thier profits from the CD sales. not the artists. (some complain. but you hear about it hardly as much as the RIAA themselves.)

Yeah, artists really don't make that much money in royalties on CD sales...They make money from touring and such, which brings the argument to high ticket prices...

that greatly depends on what artist...because people like britney spears and justin timberlake make A LOT more off of cd sales than touring...its just the sheer number of cds sold
