I really don’t want to do a rant on things but I really feel like doing it. Here’s the thing about buying CDs. I ‘evaluate’ music by going and downloading it. I’m not saying I do this illegally but I do go and download music. Now, sometimes I do this before the release date actually hits and sometimes I do it afterwards. Most of the music I get is garbage and I don’t go buy it from the store. However, if I support the artist and love their album I will go buy the album as soon as it hits stores. I don’t feel that I buy less music because of the digital age. I just have become very picky about the music I buy. If your album sucks and only one song on it is good don’t expect me to go buy your album. I think what the RIAA is really pissed about is that the digital age has made it harder pull the wool over people’s eyes any more and make them buy crappy albums by having one hit single.

Their waving their fist saying “Damn you! Educated consumer! We’ll sue!”. Like it’s going to stop people from downloading music. All people will do is get more clever and technology will get better to make them less able to protect their garbage. You want money? Provide a good product at a reasonable price and the American consumer will buy it. (Or have an overwhelmingly strong marketing department… *wink* *wink* Microsoft).
