if you want a slightly more reliable "source" use BearShare.....Kaaza is just trouble waiting to pounce on your comp...my suggestion is to get rid of it asap.
Who knows what kind of adware/spyware and possible viruses you mightve downloaded, unintentionally. Or you can just support your fav artists by buyin their shit....;)

i have now resolved to buying cds and ripping them at 224kbps. Not only am i getting superb sound quality, i'm supporting artists pay their advances and get the royalties they deserve from record sales.
Downloading mp3s is getting sketchy. It's hard to find tracks and on top of that good sounding ones that pound the bass clean and crisp

^^ WTF are you talking about? A scam? I didn't say anything about that either.
Fact of the matter is that artists make dick all on CDs. Most of it just goes to the labels. So no, you're not supporting the artists, you're supporting people who are suing 12-year-old girls and 65-year-old women. If you want to support an artist, go to their shows. That's where they actually make money.

It's not 11%. It entirely depends on the contract that the band signs. More often than not it's way less than that. label makes about $8 on the CD, artists usually see about 50 cents of that. Artists DON'T make their money on CD sales. They make it by gigs and going on tour. Any signed artist that doesn't own their own label will tell you that. Doesn't matter anyways. The way I see it CDs are obsolete. Overpriced and inconvenient. Can't beat free from home any day. CDs are designed to distribute. Now the distribution can be done cheaper and easier. But of course because the RIAA just wants to get richer without doing work, they automatically say that this is a Bad Thing. And so they lobby the government so stuff like the DMCA gets made so they can sue the pants off of perfectly innocent people just exercising the concept of the Free Market. Sad to see that for so many people in north america that proclaim capitalism as the only possible means of maintaining economic stability despite the fact that it's not practiced out here. But given the amounts of propoganda the world seems to just eat up, I'm not surprised that people have zero concept of what capitalism is about.
