Were on the right track I think. What the record companies really need to do is listen to the people. It's not my fault if the record comany publishes something I don't want to listen to. I used to be a disc jockey about 15 years ago. I had to give it up. I had joined a record service that caters to DJ's. We would get first crack at new material, from all sorts of artists. Now, I have to tell you that these things are not cheap, and you need to make enough from your buisiness to cover the cost.

 

I can't tell you how many records & tapes I tossed out, but I'll venture to say that it was close to 40% right off the bat. The end came when BMI/ASCAP wanted to tack on a performance licensing charge on top of the record service's cost. As I understood it, the record service had provided this in it's subscription fee. No big deal, untill I found that the BMI/ASCAP was double dipping. They wanted to keep getting $$ from the service, PLUS stick ther hand ito my pocket as well. The hell with that.

 

Nowadays I find myself buying fewer and fewer CD's, simply because the music on them isn't that good.

What's so friggin hilarious is this bullshat about MD5 hashes being embedded into a music track and being used to trace these so-called "illegally copied songs".

 

THINK, PEOPLE!!!

 

Where the hell did you think the original recording came from... it came from a LEGALLY created CD holding the LEGALLY created master/remix of the track.

 

This means ANY song that is ripped from such a source is legal and this MD5 hash bull is a scare tactic.

The "one good song" deal has been going on since the recording industry began. I doubt if it will ever change.
