Do you have other ways of showing that don’t agree with the sneaky, greedy things the music industry does?
My husband and I have boycotted Ticketmaster, so we now we only go to concerts at small venues or concerts that sell their tickets through other online ticket agencies (ones that don’t add on a 50% convenience charge). I think that if you really like an artist, and are gonna listen to their album, then you should buy their album. I’ve bought music from Insound.com before, its cheap and they have a sizable selection to choose from.
Artists deserve money for the work that they do, this is just a different approach.
i am the assistant manager for a local record store … we buy and sell used cds, games, and dvds … arists never receive payment for ‘used’ product, so i feel kinda guilty always … what do i do tho?
