Replying to The recording industry is obsolete

Recording should not be an industry, and i prefer not to support it. most of the money you spend does not go to the artist. I don't care to give money to anyone but the artist. the recording industry is obsolete. Artists can (and I can think of a fair amount who do) record and create their own albums, and even have decent success distributing them, themselves. With the money I save NOT buying cds, I spend on going to shows. the artists make much more money from me this way, because they make much more money putting on shows. at these shows, I will buy cds directly from the artist, and because they don't have to pay someone to market it, usually the cds I buy in this fashion are around $7. in-fact, the artists make more money from me wince I download their songs for free, then if I hadn't, because if I had not, I would not know about far more then half of the artists I know and love, and thus would not go to shows, and potentially buy cds and t-shirts from.
