It's not a case of subsidizing the poor music industry. It's a case of my retired mom who can barely figure out email subsidizing your music habit. Buy your own music.

Do you honestly believe every band currently recording under RIAA labels is making tens of millions of dollars? Those few superstar musicians are the exception not the rule.

"Last month the Songwriters Association of Canada called for a mandatory $5/month ISP music tax."What of the movie industry then? How about the painters and photographers who have their images paraded around on websites? Will we have taxes for those too?

Contact me with your tax money. I can provide tax relief by taking that money off your hands.

bandaids can't fix the wounds these labels have. fighting consumers is not the answer. working with the fans is. but thats just the million dollar question

If this happens, I will no longer purchase any music. I'll be pulling it all off p2p.
