Oh the vicious cycle! If no one buys the music there will be no new bands signed. No CD's cut. No new music!
The UK/Euro prices for a CD albumn in the shops are crazy. 14 GBP for CD is a ripoff. Go online CD101 and get em for under a tenner, most around 7 GBP.

I pay for music :/ But only CDs I'm really looking forward to listening to. I own about 100-120 brought CDs and like 20X the amount on my PC which I downloaded/ripped from friends CDs

Helium said:Hey!
Im looking for some good song's that i havent found enywhere
Does enyone have "Linkin park feat Jay-Z-Numb/encore"
And "Global Deeyas-The sound of San Francisco"
Can mby send or give the link,would be real thankfull
I think the reason you cant find em is you incorrectly labeled em as good songs, if you look in the REALLY CRAP songs directory you might have more luck.
Most artists except the really really big ones that have too much cash already earn money from gigs and not from CD sales as the record companies takes almost all of the profit.
Its time to remove the middle hand (record companies/stores) and buy the music straight from the artists via the internet, recording becomes easier and easier and cheaper and cheaper every day.
YES! to cheaper music and more money to the artists making it. NO! to fat business men taking the money without contributing shit to the music.

The ironical thing is, that 99% of the people who keep repeating this sentence like a bunch of parrots don´t even know what they´re talking about. (Not aimed at you, bulk, I trust you that you know how media distribution works.)
They´re just vagually see some kind of capitalism and - more or less consequently - elevate copying music and data to some form of protest. "We´re oh so against capitalism bro, lets download some muzak to show how much we hate this capitalist greed and support the bands!"... you get the idea.
Why aren´t you guys trying to eliminate the middle hand of milk- and cheese production? Why don´t you guys buy your milk directly from your local farmers and boycott the supermarket? It´s the same market- and economy mechanisms.
downloading music off the net is appauling..... i would never do it myself, my evil twin may have said she does it.
Think of those poor wee pop stars, half the girls in the music industry are so hard done by they cant afford to eat! poor wee crystina agulara, look at her, she's like a wee dickensian waif! her clothes are all torn and dirty and looking at her she doesnt look like shes had a good meal for weeks, nay MONTHS!! and those poor little boy bands! McFly have to go get their hair cut at the college by trainees (and it shows, boy does it!) think of the humiliation they suffer walking in to a room to chants of "haaaaair cuuuut...... haaaaaair cuuuuut" and aways having to walk about in their older siblings cast off clothes.
PEOPLE YOU ARE DOING THIS!!!
Taking the food from their mouths, i lose count of the amount of pop stars that have called my crisis line saying, crying!! how they cant afford a good fat line of coke any more, nor can they afford the foxy hookers to snort said coke off their backs, think of the hookers and drug dealers that are being affected by the pop stars lack of funds also!! its a diabolical downwards spiral! first you hit the celebritys then the people who have to make a living from them!
SHAME ON YOU ..................... SHAAAAME!!!!
to help with this please call 0800 a-r-s-e-h-o-l-e-S-O-S and donate bling, money, drugs and hookers!

Can't say I share your view here. You can not compare milk distribution to digital media distribution. The distribution possibilities of milk hasn't really changed the last ten years now has it. It still needs to be physically moved, and that's why the middle hand is needed and useful.
For music it is completely different. It can now easily be recorded, produced and distributed without the need for old fashion music industry. Of course, this means that the old fashion music industry risk becoming obsolete. Which is not something they want.
So as opposed to milk distribution, it actually makes sense to remove the middle man here. Lower cost a lot.
hahahaha I do media studies and could be arsed contributing go me XD erm.. Yea the fact is some bands now sell songs that you can d/l directly of the internet (thus sort of cutting out the middle man and increasing net cost but hey swings and round about), and im sure if I could be bothered to look there are some by-laws that allow u to hold music or copied items for 24 hours? Or is that bs? And if you owner the cd or can prove you have owned it having a copy of it isn’t illegal, as you are allowed 1 back up in-case you break the original (or is this just in my world i made up in my head where my laws go and stuff?)

I definetly would not agree with you there.
The recording and production could be done on the cheap without the financial backing of a Media company but that hasnt changed for 40 years. However when it comes to marketing and distribution (distribution involving money that is
) the internet is still woeful. Bands that only (only being the operative word) distribute on the internet do not generally speaking make money. The massive marketing clout is why the middleman are still essential to the band that wants to make money. Who is gonna pay for all the posters around town? and the publicity tours? bands still cannot afford to do that by themselves and without that their potential audience is limited to a few glowy eyed nerds surfing the internet at 1am looking for the next 'killer' tune.The other big benefit of labels is that if all bands suddenly stopped using the traditional model, we would be swamped by 1000's of bedroom bands... Labels effectively act as a filter between the general public and the bedroom composers. And before you say 'you're missing out on all the great indie stuff!' No im not, independent labels filter out all the bedroom indie acts for me. Think of your 10 year old brother rapping along to beastie boys or NWA do you really want to listen to that on the radio or internet?? Because there really are artists out there who sound like that and think they have what it takes to be 'big'.

Computers have changed recording and producing a lot. It is a lot cheaper, the equipment is a lot more accessible. And internet has changed distribution, because it is a lot cheaper to distribute it digitally across the internet than ship CD's around the world.
There are tons of ways to market yourself without a big company behind you. Of course if you are like a booming popstar then you need the TV ads and massive backing of a company, but genuine artists can cut it without this ~~
And the point I was making is that comparing it to milk distribution is completely pointless until the day comes you can download milk off the internet.

I dont think there is. All thise 'indie' bands you like do have a label and they are paying for CD's to be pressed and promotional materials. Please name a successful band that has been successful without a label and pressed CDs sold in shops?
