i agree with jester.....its not the bands the RIAA r helping, its the record labels.....and they'r a bunch of greedy fucks......if they didnt start selling the CD's at the higher prices, steeling songs might not have started in the first place......
in my band, we dont even want a record deal...we'll do it all ourselves.....all we need is distribution and we'll sell the CD's for $10.00 and keep most of the money......the hell with the labels.
and i still say....a long time ago we all used to record songs for free and nobody said a thing....so whats the difference?
