The bottom line is it's all about greed. The Blog Bloke ( http://www.blogbloke.com/ )has also made several posts about this including an article how not to get sued by the RIAA. It's worthwhile reading. 20532@blogcritics.org Fri, 26 Sep 2003 19:39:44 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/09/24/141154.php#comment-19999 Thanks Johno, I have heard the Cashbox story before and it is grim. I also agree with yor overall assessment of the industry: there have always been good people who love msuic, but ther have always been crooks, shysters, manipulators and intimidators as well. Now they are dressed up in the suits of multinationals, and leveraged to the eyeballs, looking constantly for the big score rather than nurturing careers. We see the results. 19999@blogcritics.org Wed, 24 Sep 2003 14:25:02 EDT
