web defacment i dont agree with as its just lame but when the RIAA says that p2p is causing a decress in record sales thats just BS

ok singles sales have dropped but albumn sales are up - if i like a song i have heard by someone i might download another if i like 2 i'll prolly go buy the albumn like most people I will not however pay £5 for a single thats ridiculous - an albumn of like 12/14 tracks costs £8/£12 and they wanna charge you £5 for a cd with like 2 tracks on it - dont think so

plus i think the reason for the biggest drop in slaes is not the use of p2p software - is just cause all the music these days is a load of sh1te

come on is there ever a week when some manufactured popstars/fame acadamy or other crappy band are not in the charts?? ffs the only bands/people to have more number 1 hits in the uk than westlife is elvis and the beatles - and westlife is no-where near the same league as either of them

RIAA - and also their counterpart in the UK should stop spending so much money trying to prosecute 12yr old girls and start investing the money in finding some true musicians who can write & perform their own music
