The MP3 Debate

Considering that I personally have a large collection of MP3s many which I burned from my personal cd collection :) I feel pretty strongly on the subject. So France is going to pass some legislation that opens Apple's iTunes format up to other players. Of course the "music cartel" in the US is going to have a cow about this issue. I say music cartel because well, isn't that what they are? "We're going to enmass arrest Americans for sharing music becuase the greedy bastards we are want our millions". Well how about making songs affordable to download? Why should an mp3 that's not even .wav quality be 99 cents or more ! Paleeese. How much of that do you think really goes to the artist? Very little unless the artist owns their own recording company which is far and few between.

However, with new foreign MP3 sites popping up that (for the most part) seem legit Apple and the music cartel here in the US are really going to have to take a second look at how they're screwing us over. For example: http://www.allofmp3.com/ or http://www.mp3sugar.com/ .
Enough said, your days of over pricing MP3s are over!!!!
Who said globalization was bad? :P
