another example of big firms treating artists like cattle

they moaning @ 40,000 album sales is not enough " the prices they charge i think its a lot

i think the internet will get the blame but also i think record companys have to execpt that times are changing and have to learn to adjust

It's true...! The other night I saw an item on the news that said Ringtones would soon be outselling sales of CD singles...! I believe Didier forcast this quite a while ago. Times certainly are changing...

Even without the internet & piracy, the quality of pop music would be just the same.

The big media bods created the scene, which now is is devalued to 2nd best to a phone jingle. They are drowning in thier own mess.
