common sense doesn't change cause people think it's there time now. You don't support they fall down. Shows are coming around every damn weekend around my way. To the point, if u miss one it's no big deal. Even Chris Browns "Fan Appreciation Concert" is looking like a Fail since Lady GAGA and a few others just came thru back to back.
My suggestion... GET and KEEP ur damn jobs till this shyt evens out. DL'ing a CD isn't cool but having to steal meat to feed ur kids isn't cool either. Until labels get hit back alil for all the dirt they did to great artist like MJ or TLC, i think it's karma at it's finest.
Example:I bought BP3 but not a few others. Why? Cause the two times i listened to them i knew it wasn't a good buy. When i was younger in the 90's i used to call the bootleg guy an ******* for what he did to artist's money.
Labels make money off records, artist make money on tours and products, hence the intro of the 360 deal...

Since they failed to stop it, it'd be wise to accept it.
I released my record for free and it created a lot bigger buzz. If I had sold it, it'd have been heard by nobody.

The problem with your analogy here is that tires require a certain amount of raw materials and man hours put in to make that tire into an acceptable product worthy of putting on your vehicle, mostly so that you don't roll down the highway and the tread comes off your new Firestone's.(Also, a tire shop's tires are pretty much the only form of income this person likely has. Album sales to musicians are not, they have way more opportunities to make money off their notoriety.)
The same can't really be said about music. It's value is very difficult to quanitify. Don't get me wrong, I am very aware of the amount of time, effort, and creativity, that goes into SOME albums and songs, as well as the dirt cheap CD's, notes and packaging that they include. But there is not a standard out there in music as to "a song requires 40 hours of writing. An instrumental requires 30 hours to create and mix. The recording process takes 20 hours, etc." therefore this music is worth $______.
I know there's more that goes into making some records than just that right there, but the point is....how can someone who had NO ROLE in the actual creation of the music (CEO, label exec) sit back and say how much its worth? Then take a bigger cut than the people who DID have an actual role in that process?
F*ck that. The system is flawed, and its not working anymore. Notice how it seems that the artists who speak out against DL'ing music get some severe backlash and likely lose some paying customers (Lily Allen, Metallica, etc.) while people that are embracing it (Shakira, NIN for example) are likely finding new paying customers...and a hell of a lot more people are going to hear their music, which to my understanding is THE POINT OF MUSIC...TO GET IT HEARD!!
I found these 2 pennies on the ground in a parking lot, so they're not the best quality 2 cents.
Peace!
