Yes, It is sad. To these evil companies it is all about the money. The music means nothing to them. All they care about is thier cut of it. They breed alot of these bands and artists to sound a lot like the top-seller of the moment, so that they can ride the popularity train and suck every cent they can from them. So, when little Johnny or Suzy started finding new ways to work around the record companies they need to stop it, cause it made their jobs obsolete.....

wow, you have a serious lack of knowledge (i'm trying to be nice here and assume you don't know better =) )
ARTISTS DO CARE THAT THEIR MUSIC IS ON THE PSP!!
here's an musicians view RIGHT HERE! http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=24944006&blogID=213041242&MyToken=17adf67b-51e5-4438-b725-7c864f0b167d
you know why? people download music instead of buying the cd. the cds don't sell. artists have a certain quota they have to sell. they don't make that quota (because of the downloaders) and they get dropped.
IF THE CDS DON'T SELL, THE BANDS DON'T MAKE ANY MONEY EITHER.
DOWNLOADING MUSIC IS ILLEGAL. it's not the RIAA's fault. actually, I wish that the RIAA would sue everyone who downloads, because I have friends in signed bands that are struggling and are broke thanks to downloaders, and I know how hard it is.
You downloaders are RUINING the industry.
If you like a band BUY THE FREAKING A CD!
thank you for listening to my rant. but seriously, it's true.

If you go to work you expect a paycheck, don't you? Up and coming artists don't make a whole lot of money from record sales, any monies earned is typically fronm touring. So if you down load a song illegally the artist gets screwed out of royalties.

the sad part isnt just the record labels, or the bands, its the record stores that are failing and closing down. world without record stores = one sad world
