Why is the RIAA scared?

Because the recording industry has been shoving pasteurized, homogenized, shitty music down our throats for at least 50 years. Bands are “made” and music is created to be catchy and annoying, simultaneously. Radio stations have been taking some form of “payola” for that long as well, to play the big record companies musical acts. Look at the career of Britney Spears: First on the Mickey Mouse show (with Justin, Christina, and Keri) and then “prepared” to launch a pop career. All over the airwaves, and she can’t sing. It is a self propogating system, with very few cracks to let new, upcoming, talented artists in. I understand it’s showbiz, but there are some legitimate, talented folk who would blow away america if they ever got real radio play.

That’s why they are scared, because with the internet, they can’t control the delivery anymore. With the recent hit by Gnarls Barkley, “Crazy” we are seeing a shift, not in what people listen too, but how they find new music. Instead of listening to the radio, they D/L music from the internet. Did you notice that big stations picked up on in? Yeah, it was their idea all along. Right
