I am so tired of the Music/Movie industry trying to fight piracy. It's inevitable, the average person doesn't want to spend money they don't have too, especially if its just making the rich richer.




Honestly, the biggest piss off i have daily is when i want to listen to something on YouTube, and i get a "video has been removed due to copyright infringement" looking at you Sony. I get it, i want to support artists and i do believe in (some) law. But you can't win.
Talking about YouTube, what is with Vevo? their competition but have the biggest channel on the site. With tonnes of adds and FUCKING annoying add movies. I don't mind the adds at the bottom so much, i get it, but the videos, thats harsh. I stay clear of their videos all together. (are you reading this Google? Of course you are)

And whats with this LimeWire thing.
Being sued for 75 TRILLION dollars is plain retarded! I know the suit has been reduced to a maximum of 20B but that is still extraordinarily dumb. Did they really steal the files, or did the people that shared them.
And so what if i want people to hear music i like, maybe it will inspire them to go out and buy their albulm or see a live show.

I think thats the answer, this auto tuned mindless shit thats pumped out theses days don't do "real" live shit. Music needs to go back to that, I spend the $40 for a small venue, i even buy a $20 shirt on the way out.

So bottom line, make it worth my money, on I'll SHARE it online.

  1. I agree with a lot of this, but as an artist I do sympathize with musicians. It's a tough profession. Seems like the most successful business model now is Wiz Khalifa's style, putting out tons of free music to maintain a following and touring constantly.
