RIAA Sued For Amnesty Offer

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

True, established artists get hurt by piracy, while it may even help new artists.
