This statement is rather ironic considering you spent the next 10 sentences or so insulting him. If you don't like what he says, don't respond. Or if you choose to, actually say something of importance or something of wit. Randomly strung together insults implying homosexuality, obesity, and social complexes only succeed in making you appear unintelligent

And you keep ignoring that I never said the band gets all the cash. I've said this around 4 times now, but my main point was record sales = the record label favoring the artist. Is it that ****ing hard to understand? Pardon my French here, but this is getting downright ridiculous.

If you are talking about major international groups than that is one thing, but the moment you start talking about the underground (any band/label not prone to mainstream exposure) those companies/entities are truly hand to mouth organizations. I do download music, but I also buy the majority of CDs I own. Often from the band themselves. And downloading music, no matter what loophole it might lead you through is an illegal practice. The way it's done on MB is legal, the music is hosted through a non-interested party and then the requester if-you-will then downloads the album, listens, and hopefully buys it if they like it. Torrent sites and File sharing programs are hurtful to underground music. And I'll address this now as well, it was stated earlier that most bands would trade exposure and low sales for anonymity and higher sales. If a band is in the predicament, odds are they'd like for people to buy their stuff first, so they can tour off the money, live off the money while on tour and expose people through live shows rather than simple recordings.
