Comment i may never buy a cd again (Score 2, Interesting) 549
the music industry blamed napster for it's stale selection and dismal sales. now that napster is gone, they blame gnutella (and others). i blame poor promotion, shitty bands, and the industry changing from music-based to money-based. selling cookie cutter bands that imitate another successful band. this is what i believe caused the music world to suffer the past 5 years.
i legitamately own about 500 CDs. you can imagine what a pain it is to organize, find, and play my music. i bought an mp3 player (neo 20gb), encoded all my cds and take them everywhere. now the music industry wants to limit how & where i can transfer my music. if i can't take it with me along with everything else i own, i dont' want it.
with these restrictions in place, i may never buy a cd again until they remove these weak copy protection schemes which affect the fidelity of the music anyway.
