[QUOTE="brian_dc:677643"]Beorht-Dana said:[QUOTE]INFECT said:[QUOTE]The only people being deprived of anything are the record company execs and IMHO they can get fucked with a rusty pole[/QUOTE] Eh, this is the common misconception. Everyone gets fucked by it. Stealing from the record company does not make them want to give better compensation to their artists, it makes them give less. The less money the record company makes the less they are willing to put back into the whole process. Example: 20 years ago even moderate sized labels would give a recently signed band an advance to pay for the recording of their debut album for that label. Now that the industry is less lucrative, all the labels expect the band to finance their own recordings out of pocket. The only exceptions being the really huge labels and recently signed artists on moderately large labels which the label is sure are going to be smash hits. It is true that the "record execs" get paid too much in comparison to the artists and everyone else along the chain. The problem stems from the fact that the people who become CEOs and executives at record companies are not musicians and do not choose to work there because of their love of music. Most are probably tone deaf and are and always have been businessmen first and foremost. One thing you should all remember is this: anyone reading this never would have heard of Enslaved if they hadn't been signed. I'm sure some douche will try to say, "well I heard about Enslaved from their NEMA demo back in 1991." No you didn't.[/QUOTE] an excellent post. I commend you.[/QUOTE]
