I really think you should lighten up. Read this article and you will see what a joke the record industry is. The Byrds never made $ on any record they put out because its so slanted in the record companys favor. Read this and you may change your viewpoint a little. I, of course, will buy the new Oasis album but why not get it a little early. I am mad fer it.

i'm just not downloading it...simple as...I could give 2 about whoever's downloading the songs. I don't really care either way. It's too much hype...I don't like hype. I'll buy the album when it comes out....it's also too stressful, and this way no one can bother me about links.

Nice post, thanks y2koasis!

Some parts of the things mentioned are correct; but one thing is missing.
If a great artist does not sell much albums, then the record company's have less money to spend to encourage or contract new bands.
So, if there are no great bands anymore, music loses his face and little bands don't provide in the slipstream of the succes.
The CD/musicDVD prices should be lower then they are.
Material of a CD cost nothing, just a few cents.
The government earns a lot by taxes and the recordcompany's earn a lot.
The artist himself don't provide enough.
So the recordcompanies are to blame for the increasing sales and the illegal downloading and burning.
They created a market for people who are sick of paying too much for a product that could be much cheaper.
This is also the answer; keep the product payable for everybody.
MP3 could also be a stimulating force to buy an album; a friend sends you a mp3 of a band and you are caught.
It can be a reason you buy a single/album.

I agree with a lot that you say. It was in yesterday's USA Today and It was so timley for this leak. I agree an MP3 can make you go out and buy an album you may not have heard otherwise. The most amazing thing about that article was that the Byrds never made a dime off an album that had a record company put out. Did you see that?!?!? They made .00004 cents per album. Record Companys are the pits of the universe.

On the point of money - yes they're cheap to make but remember that they have to pay for:
Artist royalties
Producers
Publishers
Record Company employees
A&R scouts
etc etc

to be honest I think people should buy the album if they like it, not to:
Support the band - Oasis have enough money as it is, and you should never support bands unconditionally it just comes down to the music and the music only. If you dig it, buy it. If you don't, don't.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
