These scumbags need to be made irrelevant as soon as possible so they can't affect the political process.

too much money in us politics.

E-mail your favourite artists and tell them you won't buy their crap if they sell it through a record company. Sell directly and limit the the lecherous middlemen.

almost all of my favourite artists sell directly anyway.

:P

quit listening to their music and make your own. swear people ain't going to be happy until everything has no value.

People will make music for free, they always have.

When I work for free is when I work the hardest and best, when I have the most fun, and when I make the best stuff. Funny enough that the work I've done for free has seen the best ROI in my life.

Dibs, you think money is synonymous with value? Maybe ideally it should be but it seems that it has been hijacked from that purpose in order to be used as a tool to manipulate society. It's more like a cult at this point.

well, I (usually) work for money. If you want loyalty get a dog. :P

how you do things for free without spending any money? you ghost? need no food? no water? just because you say it's free doesn't mean it didn't cost any money.

By having enough food and shelter to do so.

I'm not saying music is free.

I'm saying there's enough people who enjoy making music out there that it will happen regardless of whether or not they are explicitly being paid for it.

Dibs, I like what you're saying. I totally agree that money existed before food, shelter and value.

In the beginning Money created the food and the shelter.
2 And the shelter was without form, and empty; and nothing cooked upon the hearth. And the scent of freshly minted Money moved upon the doorway of the home.
3 And Money waffled in the air saying, Let there be music and there was music.

jaja

LOL, i should've known better. 2/3rds of the US population doesn't make enough to pay taxes. but of course they have no clue what money is.

we did away with money the Gov't just sends us coupons, and reloads our credit cards with what we are ENTITLED too.

You should start the 'ask Dibs anything' thread where you make up answers to people's questions.

If 2/3 of large corporations the taxes they should (rather than loophole-ing to the extreme), you'd not be in such financial troubles

what do you call 110m tax payers / 311m people? i call it 2/3rds. wasn't made up by me. was made up by whoever is hosting usdebtclock.org

oops, y'all should check my math faster. giggle.
