Here's a novel concept to bands (new and old) then: don't make shitty music
Similarly, to labels: don't put out shitty CDs
I can't tell you how many shitty CDs I've been saved from buying thanks to file-sharing allowing me to preview a good portion of a particular CD
In the days before file-sharing, I had (got rid of most of them) too many CDs that I got for one song or just picked up blindly, later regretting most of these purchases.
Really, I believe that's what the RIAA and big labels wants most of the time: for people to just blindly buy CDs without having any idea what they (consumer) are really getting, so they (RIAA and labels) can laugh with their money while the consumer is stuck with a shitty product for which the consumer can never get 100% return on, since most stores don't refund on CDs and at most you'll probably get a 50% return at a Used store
So... fuck them
