Look how wonderful the record industry is. One top act has never seen a royalty check.. Of course these guys want the right to hack net sites... probably the next thing is a congressionally mandated right for their lawyers Guido and Lefty to hack the bodies of people who don't turn over all the receipts. Read Mick Jagger's accounts of record comapnies in Fortune this month... record comapnies rape artists and fans... time for these guys to go... Comments 10:25:42 PM
