“After being recently taken over by a private equity group called Terra Firma EMI is currently looking for ways to “substantially” reduce the amount of money it pays out to trade groups and other lobbying organizations. ”

lobbying organizations = roaches of politics

Guys I posted on this here…..yesterday.

But I am glad that the RIAA are finally being told that their tactics are simply not working.

the statement that got to me was this…

ne of the quotes that really got to me was an industry insider that said…

“Doug Morris one of the people who calls the shots in Universal the biggest of the Big 4 admitted in an interview:

There’s no one in the record industry that’s a technologist. That’s a misconception writers make all the time that the record industry missed this. They didn’t. They just didn’t know what to do. It’s like if you were suddenly asked to operate on your dog to remove his kidney. What would you do?”

To which I responded…

I would have the GOOD SENSE to go to a vet and have THEM work on my dog! That is what I would do.

Not try to “fix” the problem myself as the music industry has tried by suing it’s customers! There was simply no excuse for that and it is apparent in spades now.

They made their own problems….Napster could have been a great way of the music industry and customers coming together….but greed got in the way and now they are paying a price for it.

I am glad that at least one major label is seeing the light. Now if the others would follow suit……

Awww.. it almost makes you feel sorry for them.. no.. wait.. what am i saying..

Stuff ‘em they deserve nothing more than a quick and brutal death after the way they treated us all and still are.
Die now and disappear forever only to be found in history books.

Let’s hope this is a lesson learned and noted by all major companies. Greed and total disrespect for the very people makin the money for you will lead to your demise.

finally the music companies themselves realized that their loyal attack dogs’ efforts are fruitless.

So you’re telling me that after somewhere around 5 years the music labels bitching about being broke are going to stop throwing away hundreds of millions of dollars a year to a lost cause when they see absolutely no return for it? These guys really are fucking stupid.

“So you’re telling me that after somewhere around 5 years the music labels bitching about being broke are going to stop throwing away hundreds of millions of dollars a year to a lost cause when they see absolutely no return for it? These guys really are fucking stupid.”

Yeah I think they are just now realizing how fruitless their efforts suing people really are. That and the very bad name that has been given to them for the “sue em all” campaign.

But even IF all the major labels drop the RIAA and try to woo back people something tells me they will have a hard time of it because of the way they have acted in the past.

People are not very likely to just forget and forgive….it would take awhile.

I guess slowly they’re realizing how pointless it is to try and stop something that’ll never go away.
