Why The big fuss we hear about music downloading and mp3 !!!
First of all the artists and hark the poor poor money deprived record companies and executives do get a portion paid on every blank cd , cassette sold out there.
Why are their blank ones available anyway if not for putting recordings on in the first place. Oh I see you buy a blank cassette to sit and collect dust.
I have a pain up my you know what when it comes to cd's out now a days that say "The Original Artists", yes they are the original but what they don't tell you if you haven't listened to a lot of songs over the years, new instrumentation of music is added and even the artist sings it differently , possible at an older age. In my books that's not the original recording we all heard back then when radio played it. I found an example of this on a CD I purchased in a larger department store . Thinking it was the version played back then on radio IT SAID ORIGINAL !! false advertsing ? Who's the crook here, the record companies or the poor soul trying to find and download the one played back then like it should sound.
The downloads available are of course music purchased by the various swap users in the first place. You might have to try and download 15 versions of a song in thousands of cases I've found to get that original version. Here again supposedly "original " recordings in many cases don't even sound anything close to the original song.
