RIAA, Major Labels Vs. The Dangerous File Sharer

Well, you've all been waiting for Radio's Avenger to step up to the plate and jack one out of the park on behalf of musicians everywhere. Well kids, today is that day.

Today's Target: The RIAA. What a disgusting organization. This group of Einsteins is now attacking their very source of income: The music buyer. Now I realize something must be done about file sharing. But charging $750.00 per song found on your hard drive? Are they serious?

First of all, to all you hot headed musicians who think you are saying something by backing the RIAA let me let you in on a few details of this digusting organization.

The RIAA backs Major American labels who are morally guilty of much worse crimes than any file sharer. Major labels create dozens of pre-fabricated bands a year. Most recently they even pre-fabricated a genre: Nu Metal. They search for easily corruptable bands who are signed to a three album deal and then disposed of when the labels are done with them. They steal 95% of the CD Sales Profits, keeping the lump sum for their own pockets.

Upon "scouting" a real band, they have the band sign what is called a "deal memo" - unknown to the band is that this is a binding contract. If a band signs a deal memo, rest assured they will sign a contract that benefits the label or they will be destroyed.

Everything a label fronts for a band in a recording contract must be paid in full. So the band now must pull off a phenominal tour or go into financial ruin.

All this is backed by the RIAA who claim to be acting in the artist's best interest. What a joke. Someday, a rich user with good strong political ties will sue the RIAA for unfair business practice and win. God bless him when that happens. These people are the real crooks.
