Comment Lesson from the dead (Score 1) 1249
For the record I'd like to state that these bands whining about P2P networks sucking the money from their pockets are off their rockers (pun intended).
The Grateful Dead has allowed audience members to tape their shows for 30 years and share them for free...no royalties to the band whatsoever! To me the Dead are true professional musicians...if they want to make money from their music, they go on the road and play music for their fans....it's a job....just as it should be.
Bands today should be happy their music is getting around to so many people so quickly....and if they want to make the coin they should get out on the road and do what they are paid for.....Play music!
IMHO,
