"As long as the record companies and media empires maintain their stranglehold on the industry you've got nothing to worry about. The real struggle isn't about profits from their current library, it's about profits from their FUTURE library. It's all about making sure that you have to come to them for music, period. For years, a handful of companies have decided what you listen to and what you buy. Their artists, their playlists, their distribution. If all you ever hear is their product, then of course, that's what you buy."

Agreed.

The American Media Overlords (just a short list...by no means complete):

TimeWarner/AOL=Warner Bros. Movies & TV, WB Network, HBO, Comedy Central,TNT/TBS, WWF,
Warner Music, Time magazine, People, Entertainment Weekly, Warner Books/Little Brown and LOTS more

Viacomm= CBS, MTV, Paramount Pictures, Simon & Schuster and lots lots more

Sony= Sony Music, Sony hardware (incl. Playstation), Columbia Pictures, Cineplex Odeon/Sony Theatres and more that escapes me...

Bertelsmann=BMG Music, Bantam/Doubleday/Dell/Random House Books, Der Stern (German magazine)

You know what to do... do the right thing.
