See this? Tiniest violin in the world. Playing just for the RIAA.
Record labels and their industry kicking-dog
the RIAA can go and do an unmentionable to
themselves. They have been a parasite between
musicians and fans for far too long. Go see
your favorite bands in concert, buy their
merchandise at the same - thats supporting
musicians. Don't buy a CD at the store and
have creative accounting by the labels see the
musicians get a penny or maybe two. Yes,
stealing is wrong but the record labels have
set such a good example with it.
