chenGOD Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 So apparently, the RIAA is good for one thing, and one thing only - and the proof is in the ledger books. 2008: $16 Million in lawyer fees - $391,000 in recovered "losses" 2007: $24.5 Million in lawyer/investigative fees - $515,929 recovered 2006: $23 Million in lawyer/investigative fees - $455,000 recovered C'est encroyable, n'est ce pas?

Guest bitroast Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 those poor recording artists :( This is the home of Lars Ulrich, the drummer for Metallica. Look. There's Lars now, sitting by his pool. This month he was hoping to have a gold-plated shark tank bar installed right next to the pool, but thanks to people downloading his music for free, he must now wait a few months before he can afford it. Come. There's more. Here's Britney Spears' private jet. Notice anything? Britney used to have a Gulfstream IV. Now she's had to sell it and get a Gulfstream III because people like you chose to download her music for free. The Gulfstream III doesn't even have a remote control for its surround-sound DVD system. Still think downloading music for free is no big deal? Now look in this window. Here you see the loving family of Master P. Next week is his son's birthday and, all he's ever wanted was an island in French Polynesia. I see an island without an owner. If things keep going the way they are, the child will not get his tropical paradise. Man must learn to think of these horrible outcomes before he acts selfishly or else... I fear... recording artists will be forever doomed to a life of only semi-luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes this really insidious is that while sure there are some rich pop stars..much more frequently musicians make almost nothing off their albums or even go into debt while the industry make millions.
