| I think Millie said it well.
Just to add a few things, though, I'm sick and tired of hearing the starving band argument. Most small bands would love the publicity of their music being widely spread for free just to get their sound out there to the masses. Ever notice how the only bands whining are the Metallica's that already make millions of dollars a year?
And what of this starving band theory? Someone in the know feel free to correct me, but doesn't the band only see about 10% of the profit generated from album sales? If their bands are so poor, and if the widely succesfull Metallicas of the recording industry REALLY want to help, perhaps they should address where the rest of that profit is going. |
