Excuse me,I dont need incentive to be creative,I am creative by design.I cant turn it on and off like some Hallmark card guy.After the creation comes the very intense and expensive part of making it available to the end user.Thats the part I need to be reimbursed for.Thats my time,my effort,my money.If you dont like it,dont buy it.But dont think just because you dont want it that its not worth anything.The college culture and filesharing destroyed what was left of musicians livelyhood.Sure there are musicians making money still,the undeniable greats...,but more proportionately,the hallmark guys of music.As a Producer i understand what i get for what i put in and trust me the producers and engineers are the ones doing all the work,to make silk purses out of sows ears that some kid signed to a label.We work for small percentages,after recoupment of costs,and if we dont have a system enforced by law how do we get paid...we dont.Are you willing to put monthes of your life into something only to get screwed out of your livelyhood?I dont agree with the riaa completely but if you have been listening my works for free you cant say anything relevant to the discussion.I dont get free dental or free shoes,neither should you get free entertainment.I'll show you my tits but it will cost you a buck,which you are more than willing to pay.how come?you got into the internet radio business to be a business right?profit right?easy money right?No I think i need to be paid before any of you make one single dime off of my works.Because its WORK dammit.
