Aaron, have you ever heard of Clear Channel? These guys have bought up most of the larger radio stations and are now buying up all the production companies.
So now if you don't sign with their production co. Then guess what? you don't get on the radio. They like these packaged artists that have very little talent but will follow their instructions like lil drones. (seen Britney lately?)
I do understand your position but the problem you're having with these two dudes is that like myself we have seen many artist end up dead broke thanks to the industry. As well, I personally have invested in this same industry for nealy 40 years from LPs 45 & 33s, 8 tracks, cassets, CDs only to find out that this same industry has raped some of my favorite artist.
Now, they want to monoplies the same industry and dictate what I hear on free radio. Piss on those guys, I don't download that much but I'm sure not going to worry about it if I do. And I NEVER listen to a radio station that is owned by Clear channel.
As far as films go. What the hell is a Transformer? The Austin Film festival is next month should I look for that there?
When you by all of an artist work only to find out he barly made 4 cents on the dollar and you just paid off a bunch of guys that didn't even know the names of said artists work you'll think differently. believe me.
Blessings,
dave
