I'd like to dare you to do a stupid test. I know that regularly you have to listen to the top executives of the record label of which you hold some stock. I think I have a fairly good idea of what they tell you every year when you see the poor results they make.
"This is all because of piracy and the internet. But we are close to a breakthru, more and more countries are passing 3 strikes laws and this will finally deter piracy and bring our numbers up again". - I'm sure you've been hearing this kind of crap for ages.
Next time you hear this nonsense, I'd like you to ask for proof. Serious proof. There the test is done. I'm sure none will be provided and they will try to adjourn by promising proof for next year. Don't let them!!! When you hear that kind of speech, I'd like you to answer something senseful, something like:
"Cut the crap, you moronic, lying piece of corporate shit. Go find a real commercial strategy to boost your sales instead of whining about your poor sales being someone else's fault (everybody else actually)".
Until you do, I will not buy one single record. I will not download either, I will only go to live performances where it is guaranteed that the big share goes to the artist.
Yours truly,
Marcel, a customer
