Agreed...I have my own personal issues (like most of us) pertaining to
artist rights and the like, but for the sake of musicians in the genres we
all hold in high regard I think the issue may impact us differently.
Many digital/experimental artists, as we have noted, are all for getting the
music out there in any manner necessary. It's not like we are bootlegging
Madonna tracks and she's unable to feed her kids as a result......the whole
point being exactly what Jeff says - the artists aren't even seeing
royalties from all of this. After looking into the issue, doing my
homework, reading the (supposed) pros and cons, and debating this heavily
with various parties, I still see no merit as to how the RIAA can support
the argument that they have rights to any proceeds in this whole elaborate
scam. Just my rants...sorry.
