The sad thing about the music industry these days is that they don't care about music...all they care about is money. Just take a look at all the "Musicians" that have come out after 2000. All they do is recycle the crap that everyone likes because they tell them to like it and give it back to them for 20$ a cd.

The reason that the RIAA does't try and sell their music online is becuase they won't make as much money. Many people who buy cds today but them for the current single that is playing on the radio. If they put the songs online, then instead of making $17.99 from someone, they will only make $1.

But who wants to buy a $20 cd that has nothing special about it? Another idea, if they are going to charge $20 for a cd, put something good in it that you can't get online: a cool book insert, a DVD, something.

Before I end, I have a little story to wrap things up.

Tony Braxton, a female singer who you should all know, is multi-platinum musician. When whe first went platinum, she was instantly bankrput. HOW? Becuase the record lable that she was signed with was giving her less than a penny for every cd sold.

The whole music industry needs a few kicks in the ass, some new ideas, and THEY NEED TO STOP THINKING ABOUT MONEY! That isn't what art is about.
