The reason that RIAA is selling less music isnt because of music piracy.... <drumroll>... its because they're selling shitty music

surpise

wow... so true,
this is kinda what i always though file sharing was doing to music.

If you DL a song and it rocks the hizouse, your fairly likely to go out and find other things by that artist/group/DJ.
Where as if you DL a song that sounds like two dead otters humping a cow...
well, first you'll probably puke.... :sick:

and then turn off the sky sweetnam, and never listen to it again
.....you might even take a bath to cleanse the filth from your skin

but the point is i always thought of file sharing as the perverbial music safety net, the good stuff keeps being shared and DL'd and *gasp* even bought.
Where as the shit gets thrown back in to the shitastic pile of shit

:kam: RIAA can suck my big black file sharing cock :finger:

and the reason whickedhouseparty's website isn't growing isn't because of their laggy website.... drumroll..... it's because it's a shitty site and the owner is an idiot who steals domains...

While some people seemed to buy less after file sharing, more people seemed to buy more," Sinnreich said. "It was more likely to increase somebody's purchasing habits."

A very interesting read.
