I'm just glad that most of the bands I'm into lately are mainly on smaller indie labels.

Hooray for Equal Vision!! :)

Maybe he means he buys the CDs *directly* from the artist? A local group, perhaps? :chick:

Another positive step forward for music. Now if we could only sign a bill to ban MTV from being aired...

Because, yeah, people just want to steal music. That's why iTunes went bankrupt after the first week.

And also, y'know, CD sales aren't at all dropping becasuse the RIAA actions against copying or selling music online over the past few years, might have influenced people to simply say, "Y'know what, fuck the RIAA, I won't buy another CD."

Seriously all they are doing is contributing to the drop in sales of CD's with these actions becasue they are panicking for not jumping on the online bandwagon back when it wouldn't have seemed like an after thought.

Down the RIAA, they did it to themselves by remaining in the Jurrassic era willingly.
