The artists DON'T gain ahh, the glories of typed conversation... apparently i misread into your post. what i was responding to was the general sentiment that i often hear, that goes something like: "how can the RIAA/big5/whoever DO this to US? i mean, don't they know they're hurting artists!?!? they're super mean!" like they care, right? they're just looking out for themselves in whatever, aggressive and backhanded way they can. the big wake up is that artists should be doing this too! but, of course, big companies are organized and very interested in the bottom line, and artists... in general... aren't either of those things. our system supports organized entities, yeah? so the big question SHOULD be, how do artists get themselves properly set up to look out for themselves? or... will it ever happen? > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Richards [mailto:kohntarkosz@yahoo.com] > Sent: Saturday, June 22, 2002 8:49 PM > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Subject: Still talking about the RIAA > > > <<who is the 'anyone' you are referring to? it's > > very easy to make a case for how the record > companies can stand to gain.>> > > Yeah, like record companies don't make enough > money as it is.
