[citation][nom]tipmen[/nom]Poor unlucky guy! Unlike us he got caught . 1.92 mill for 24 songs is just outrageous. I don't see any song that could be worth 80,000 with the crap artist have been making lately. If i were to buy a disc i might listen to 1 or 2 songs max the rest i could care less about.[/citation]
That's the problem, their business model **WORKED** like this. If we put 5 low quality songs on an album, 2 good ones, and 3 decent ones we have a full album. And JUST so they can listen to those good songs they'll pay us the full ammount for the album. And now no one pays for albums, we filter out the crap and pay per song (99c-129c whatever) and they blame their money loss on piracy, which although it does cost them, but not nearly as much as their cheap marketing. They made a lot of money the cheap way, and now they are getting F*'d for it, so they use all the money they have to blame it on someone else and hire good prosecution so they can get these big cases settled their way. It's not right.
