I couldn't care less about record companies making money. It's all the customer-unfriendly politics they are doing that annoys me to hell: Why can't I take my service subscriptions to another country? I don't buy DRM stuff that doesn't work on half of my equipment. Why do I get different content in different countries? And why do record companies and service providers try to regulate which devices I use to listen to their content.
Sorry, all of this has nothing to do with piracy, unwillingness to pay or anything. Its just corporate bullshit out of overstaffed strategy departments trying to sell stuff that isn't there. I would be willing to pay. At least as much as I paid for CDs back in the dark ages, probably even much more. But nobody is willing to sell me the content to acceptable conditions anymore and the result is I only spend a fraction of what I spent before, I get less and less interested and in the end j spend money on live concerts instead (which have become both more frequent and much more expensive). So in the end, somebody else is getting my money and eventually evolution will do it's thing. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84670 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
