"ok, fuck it. We all have jobs/school, no one in the band really wants to go live the rockstar dream anymore since it would just be driving for long hours and playing shows. Let's release the album for free on our website, just for the sake of showing people our music." So they paid like 50k+ for recording and then put out their album on their website. If anyone likes metal you should check it out, they sound very professional. The album is on the front page http://www.pandemonium-metal.com/ | ||

My wife, and my brother in law, both of who I respect very much, happen to dissagree. It's someone else's time, effort and ideas. I'm essentially a socialist and think lots of things should be public property, but since I live in America and have to pay to eat and drive and do anything- damn right I think Music should have the same costs. In a better system, maybe not though. Maybe the whole industry thing that developed around music is wrong. Maybe musicians shouldn't expect to make oh-so-much-money out of their stuff. Hell, most of us work 8-10 hours / day and make in a month what a decent band makes in one concert. Maybe the whole "rock stars own the world" ideal most musicians dream of is the problem. | ||

You need to start listening to internet radios  And I agree, these days on radio they play pure garbage. How can one call that even music...Companies that think that without piracy they would be able to sell that crap and make huge profits are dead wrong. But they are too stubborn to realise that. What they need to do is to start promoting quality music and not generic crap that actually with modern software in not that hard to make. | ||

I heard through the grapevine that in 2005, several students at my university alone were sued by the RIAA. They're picking random people and suing them for just a few songs and are winning. Eventually, once they've built up enough legal precedents from all parts of the country, they're going to be unstoppable in enforcing this kind of stuff. | ||

But dl free music gives the oportunity to many unknown artists to be discovered. I think when you dl music, you should just keep it to yourself and not sharing it. | ||

First off allt he people that are saying ahh well musics your passion, you should just be happy to do it are wrong. When you spend 20 hours a week while investing thousands of dollars into gear and recordings(Ive spent 4 grand on my guitar setup alone) you start to realize that this is a job. That much of an investment begs for a return. Now moving on there is a perfect medium and thatt my friends is Myspace. Myspace allows users to listen to my bands singles while there on any computer, BUT it does not let them download unless they pay for it on itunes or snocap. This is perfect exposure because w out risking the virus's and the obvious fine that started this thread people can listen to your music see your bands image and see when your coming to there town all in one webpage!! Perfect, Since theres only a song or two up there ppl are encouraged to buy your cd to get the rest. In regards to the fine i think tahts insane, but they trying to make an example but regardless that screams unconsitutional to me, yes he broke the law and deserves punishment but 650K?????? IMO the artists that seem to suffer w this are the huge bands such as metalica who count on millions of ppl buying there record these guys dont need to worry about exposure they have plenty! | ||

lets face it, most people who buy CDs are doing it out of charity, this is a BAD BUISNESS MODEL. its also not as though no music will be produced without the major record labels... i have no coherent thoughts, also no i didnt read the whole thread, just the posts that looked well written | ||
