Sounds like the musicians probably suck and they just want to get some money.

Yeah, Google, and Youtube should pay hard for giving the music holders free promotion of their own music, what a bunch of crooks.

I dont expect any site, social network or torrent to save the world. I'm not that naive.Moreover I personally have more simpathy for torrent-trackers sites which are trying to figure out new business models to develop an innovative source of profit. We all got to work an make a living but I refuse to spend 20 bucks (or euros) on a cd. For sure itunes is a good answer to all that but still I listen to more music that I could afford paying for =)If sharing will be declared illegal, then even lending a cd to a friend will be something you may be persecuted for! Scary...Advice: get the money out of companies' pockets, ours offer very little. Act smart!

These guys are like the mafia-- "Protection," for the music. Well, who is protecting the consumers? The people who try before they buy? This system is inefficient, even in Germany!
