Would You Like Some Cheese With Your Whine?
According to this article, CD sales are up from last year, which is putting a damper on the RIAA’s court cases. See, the RIAA (Recording Insustry Association of America) is saying that MP3’s are harming CD sales. These new numbers go against what they’re saying, which is good for MP3.com and Napster. And you’d think that the RIAA would be happy about these numbers, too, seeing as how they’re selling more than they did last year. But all they can think of to say is “Well… who knows what we WOULD have sold if MP3s were illegal? We could have grown twice as much..” Which is fucking ridiculous. They’re selling music, and they still aren’t happy.
There’s nothing I hate more than rich brats who think they need more money. I think the next time I think about buying a CD, I’ll look for some MP3’s instead.
