This is how th "artists" really get paid. The RIAA is only out for the
large corporations that claim they are losing money because of
downloading. Well, if they produced more quality music, they wouldn't be
losing money.

Also, they could have gotten into the whole pay-per-download thing back
in the day when Napster was strong, but they continue to do nothing but
piss and moan to the authorities that we're takin' their cookies.
