Description:

Here's why:
When you buy a Major Label CD for £9.99

- about 82p goes to the band if they have paid back the label.
- about £4 goes to HMV/Virgin etc. +tax
- about 16p goes to those behind...

When you join this group, you join a list of people who oppose the RIAA, and will join in boycotts. The members list may be linked to when complaints are sent, to show that there is real opposition.

We are a group in favour of a more fair music industry, boycotting major label CDs, and supporting artists who refuse to join major labels.

The Main Offenders Boycott list:
-Capitol Records
-Sony
-Epic
-EMI
-Maverick
-BMG
-Universal
-Many, many more. Read up on the problem.

While that will still be the case, whether the movie opens locally or world-wide, Michael Lynton, chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, said that smaller movie companies that generate independent films can't afford to open globally.

Switch from the 'overall' to 'unique to this group' charts and it says something a bit different

yeah, i didn't join this group solely because Metallica support the RIAA and deserve to burn along with the rest of that shit chart.

I find this group funny. Pretends to support underground artists but the charts suggest the most generic shit you can find this side of Nickelback.

Eh, this decaying model of theirs will die - I support all of the music I love by watching the artists live, and that's more than they ever would've received if i'd bought their LP anyway.

I don't understand why websites like ThePirateBay.org are attacked so viciously by the RIAA, when companies like Rapidshare - who HOST the files and charge MONEY to download them - seem to be getting no heat whatsoever.

I buy music, but only pre-owned (new or used) off of amazon.com or ebay.com, etc... does that generally help the RIAA at all? I don't think it does, but dunno. D:
