I was waiting for someone to stand up and put an end to that "Support the Artist, buy the CD" bullshit.

Anyone that knows any scheiße about the music industry knows that artists don't get money from the albums they make. They really don't. The corporation that owns them gets the money, because they owe them due to the fact that all the money put into everything from productions and promotions are bought with the money of record sales. So buy buying a record, you're not supporting the artist, you're giving money to the industry that OPPRESSES the artist.

Hell, even Chuck D (And if you don't know who the fuck he is, get the fuck out.) has stated on more the one occasion, even so far as to stand up to congress, in support of downloading music. P2P means Power to the People.

Go ahead and buy music, if you want to oppress the artist. You're only part of the problem.
