This isa very disappointing thing for people like myself that have playlists
full of internetradio stations I have liked to listen to and they are dropping
off rapidly already. This prove the absolute stupidity of the recording
industry as they are too greedy and absolutely stupid to see they are
surpressing something that helps them more than hurts them. People should vote
with their dollars and refuse to purchase CDs to show that we are not going to
reward the recording industry's selfishness and stupidity in what they are
doing. I believe these people do not understand the internet and just refuse
to even make any attempt to understand it and what it really means to them.
They prefer to cling to their own ideas regardless if they are correct or not.
Obviously the judges response indicates a motivation to be stubern and not to
even be willing to look at things with any reasoning. The recording industry
has a lot of money to throw at their stubbern ajenda instead of looking at any
of this with logical reasoning. > From: aman@xxxxxxxxxxx> To:
