Does the RIAA even want people to listen to music? Seriously? How stupid is this?

Gene Simmons blames fans, P2P for killing music industry
June 20, 2008Gene Simmons blames fans, P2P for killing music industry
- This guy and his band suck anyway, so I wouldn’t even steal his music
- He’s pissed off what few fans he has left – see Metallica
He just doesn’t get it. The old model is dead. Give away music, make money touring. New bands are getting more exposure making their stuff available for free. Old bands are making more money than they did before by cutting out the record industry. I’m not buying albums anymore unless I can hear the entire thing multiple times. Not myspace or iTunes samples – the whole thing. I own over 1000 CDs. But yes, I “steal” music too – from friends, from the library, and (ahem) maybe even the internet sometimes. If I like it, I buy it. If I don’t, I delete it.
That’s the new model. Simmons should learn from the disaster of Metallica (which suck now anyway, but I would never buy another album from them even if they didn’t) and not piss off what few fans he has left.
