and euhm ? "rest of your life" ? you mean untill they change formats ?

if I own a casette with music I now want to put on my ipod .. can I go to the record company and ask them for a free download after I have proven that I have bought it ? NO you can not ..

not that I have actually tried, but I doubt any record company is giving out this lifetime guarantee .. once the format you bought the music in becomes obsolute they want you to buy a new copy in the new format






well, nobody wants to go to her concert .. I bet that gets reflected in the amount of "illegal" downloads there are for her music .. nobody is listening to her crap anymore .. so yeah nobody is buying concert tickets for her shows




thanks for proving my point



lol why should a factory worker be forced to work for the rest of his life ? life can be tough , deal with it ; .. if you choose to become an artist because you can't be bothered to get a real job then that is your problem .. no sympathy here



sure he can get a cut from sales, thats not the argument here, but if you want to go there, how about the record companys themselves? they are the real thieves ripping of artists with bad deals ... to some research on that .. and see what kind of money the record company makes compared to the artists






I doubt Jim Delligatti is still cashing checks on every Big Mac sold.. have any proof to back that up ?

but even if he is , wich I doubt, they are actually selling a real product .;
