Then they shouldn't release their albums via the recording companies. They can stay poor and unheard. If they really want to realease their albums directly, they can do it on the internet. They might be heard, but they'll still be poor. These ideas are only halfway thought through. - Matt -

Au contraire!!! Many artists despise the large record labels. They inflate the price of their albums, they keep large profits for themselves, they construct contracts that run their business pretty much like a slave mill. What most artists would much prefer, would be a more direct selling of the

That's just ridiculous. The music industry is suing to protect the large investment it's made in producing the music that people are stealing. It's akin to asking the musicians to perform for free. It's the same as someone taking your code and putting it on someone's else's website, changing

Substance of the article seems pretty much accurate. I'd read about this a few days ago, and this bill even has Snopes concerned (even though they don't come out and say it), so that's enough to convince me this thing is dangerous. It'd be a damn shame if a bunch of 70-something suits without a
