Didnt matter that the cost of cd production was reduced, that just ment the industry made a bigger margin. Now a large portion of the music is 'manufactured, tacky pap' and the 'artists' are paid a wage while the record companies make even more money.
It's only with the ammount of music being shared on 'tinternet' that is driving down the price of Cd's in shops.
So in my opinion, feck'em. They had a lisence to print money, and now the public is switchin off and droppin out.  |
And the musicians themselves? where do you stand on them?Don't they deserve to make money?A living?If folk don't get renumeration for their efforts than they will give up.Then who will make the music?
