All I wanted to do last week was watch Prince's Purple Rain video on youtube since I was attempting to learn the guitar portion of the song. Unfortunately, every video I clicked on didn't have the sound, just video. After researching a bit further I found out that Prince demanded that his video's be removed from youtube. WTF?? So, to make myself feel better I went to thepiratebay and downloaded every single one of the bastards albums. And I'm seeding them too so other people can get them faster. I realize that all artists aren't dicks like Prince, the record companies are usually to blame. Here’s another example.

But yea the record companies are simply encouraging people to pirate music by making it a pain in the ass to get it legally. I would commit arson because of this but gas is just too damn expensive.

Get your heads out of your nether regions, update your business model and stop steamrolling your customers with legislation that hurts you more than them (internet royalties). Pandora has a new and effective strategy to connect people with new music. You're chopping off your own feet. Internet doesn't = bad. Accept the fact that you no longer have a stranglehold on distribution and focus on some other way to buoy your business. If there's any creative talent that hasn't already jumped ship....

I love Pandora and if I wasn't on a college budget then I would kindly donate to Pandora! I think that and selling ads maybe the only way to save Pandora!
