RIAA After only songs?

Recommended Posts

RIAA, being the Recording Industry Association of America, deals only in music.

 

I don't think anyone gives a shit about porn. Of course, you have to deal with the pop-ups and viruses and spyware and shit that get bundled with it, but to each his own.

Just out of curiosity, what about music videos?

 

Who cares about me downloading those?

I wonder about that too, esp since they aren't exactly released for public consumption unless you're sitting by your VCR.

Video's arent a concern because you're not really losing the money on it.

 

The videos will still get played on MTV, VH1, BET, MTV2, FUSE or whatever no matter what.

 

But if you download the new Spears album, you likely won't buy the album which means precious fucking Brit and JIVE won't get any $$$ (and rightfully so!)

Considering most bands make their money off touring, it's a big cop out by the RIAA anyway. If record sales made the bands the money then the Rolling Stones would have REALLY had a farwell tour. Of course, we learned this in 1993 but the country just forgot all of a sudden and tried to make file sharing people out to be monsters.

 

And where did that rant come from? Sorry about that.

 

The RIAA is only after those who share the music, but I wonder what about those who don't share it?
