MBD addresses the masses
This clip is entitled "MBD throwing a tantrum", but I have to agree with him.
Many of you may not know this but there is little money in making a cd especially in the Jewish music industry, the money is generally in the concerts. I know of an artist, I believe it was the one that made the "solid gold" series, who said he lost money on his cds! He only makes them because he wants to spread his music. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of copied cds, but if I like the cd I go out and buy it. What I am doing may be wrong, but at least I buy the cd if I plan on listening to it again.
So a bakasha nafshis from the Jewish recording industry, don't steal, if you want the album buy it.
Now I know alot of you are going to bring up the fact that the prices of cds are outrageous, I agree unfortunately the cost of producing a cd compared to the amount of money brought in by sales sometimes doesn’t even break even.
So, for the music lovers who want to continue hearing new music, let’s help the artists out. If they can continue to afford to make music, we are the ones that end up benefiting in the end.
Mucho Gracias,
Splattman

Maybe each CD should come with a serial #, like software. Or, owning the original comes with privileges- like discount at concerts, website password.
Dunno. Ever since I started dealing with the music industry, I've made sure to buy my music. It really hurts the artists.
Good shout out- we need the awareness.
Nahama: The problem with serial numbers and the such, aside for the hackers and cracks that are available, is the idea of mp3. The fact that cds need to allow you to put the cd on your computer so that you can upload the music to your music players automatically gives access to burning cds.
The discount for concerts is a great idea, but as you probably know from dealing with the music industry, the concerts are arranged by third parties not the artists themselves. Your idea has merit though, I'm sure there is a way to arrange something like that.
Thanks for the kudos,

I feel so sorry for artists, p2p sure takes away a lot of potential customers, as a principal I don't download music from heimishe artists, there's such a small market for their music n the first place.
