Muxtape Takes Fire from the RIAA

No it wouldn’t actually Atrest try selling teier woks all the time in this day and age the CD file whatever shoul be`a marketing tool not a product. MC cris for example lets you Download his albmuns For free off his web pages, gives out CD’s For Free at his performance and signs em. in this way he spreads around his street cred an generates more interests from potential an as a result gets more bookings were he makes his money.

Same thing with Zeale Who really belives Music should be shared Freely he even ecourages you to DL his stuff Burn It and share it with your friends> Somthing all artist should be doing these days. Actores have to screen test for casting crews to sample thier talent.

My sister whos a Chellist Makes morre coin on booking gigs at weddings Reception Parties An makes More Giving music lessons.
Getting crap for free Who dosn’t in this day and age? BG Dose it Deliberately to get more traffic to his site thats good avertising.

Companies Do it as marketing or as an incentive to entice you tou use their products and services or get your name out an create a demand. If you Studied marketing and business an economics(wich I Did in High School Business and marketing 101) You would know this an look at the bigger picture.

EG US bank offers me $75 in groceries to sign up for a checking account.

And there is no such thing as a free lunch. there Is always a catch. your just to Retard impusive to insult me and Negative and short sided to see it that way.

Just as you said (or attempted to say and then and stumbled over), there is no free lunch. Management, roadies, session players, promoters all take their cut in some form, whether by fee or % of the gross. You simply want to bitch about the label’s part of this because you can’t get your shit for free via internet when they enforce their legal rights. The same argument you stumble over when you consider your right to patent/trademark your own uniquely useful invention (creation). Can’t have it both ways, simpleton. Just as you’re experiencing, life’s a bitch when you try to.

LOL you still don’t get it you? tech has goot soa advance an avlable an with blogsand cd burer srampant you don’t need promoters anyore or recoed companies they can do all that themselves and for realtivly ceap. th reason for for the record labels existing is gone. the the artist nolonger need them cause they(the artists) can do it all by themselves.

Tell it the industry that’s obviously kicking your ass. Otherwise, your sole purpose for existence (and whining) would no longer be.

Quite telling that your punk-rap is your sole frame of reference, where bling is cheap and talent nonexistent, punk. If you only had a clue.

punk rap pop I don’t thinks so Im’ mor of an anlternative, metal, elctronica,techno guy.

^That explains alot. When/If you ever venture into mass-appeal (as in ‘critical mass’ appeal) of the buying public, your opinion will change. There have always been those with just enough drive and talent to barely survive by nibbling off the edges by doing the independent thing, but they ultimately realize how limited their talents are to self-promote, self-distribute, write, record, engineer, etc really are compared to what they believe their worth is. They finally either give up and join a working band with proper representation and management or they go back to flipping burgers. The internet cannot replicate all the connections and deals that have to be made in order to get the right exposure and opportunities.
