I understand why WAX doesnt like downloading cause his album only scanned a few while a lot of people have been saying they love it which means people are bootlegging it BUT an artist like A-WAX needs to just get his name and songs out there any way he can which means for free. then once he is known he can start to worry about it. but right now, he needs the downloaders.
You gotta look at it like this WAX
Say 30,000 people DLed your album and 7,000 bought it was the right number.
If no one was able to DL your album then you might have only sold 4,000. What about people like me who have no way of hearin you except downloading off the net? There are people like me all over the world that DL shit they don't know of and then buy it if they like it.
Of course you still have the 27,000 people who DLed your album but 90& of those fucks probably would have never bought it anyway OR they probably would have never even heard of you. So maybe they will just go buy the next one.

Damn i aint trying to diss wax and his music, but i guess he just doesnt understand the true deal with the net. What jay deuce said is exactly true. Im all for the underground, everything in my damn life is underground, but without the internet (siccness specifically) i wouldnt even know about wax. I dont pick up Cd's at music stores of artists Ive never heard of.
Besides that, I never seen Awax CD on the net for download. And im a HUGE irc user... my shit is in there all day even when im not at the computer... it definitely aint on kazaa either. Where the hell did 30,000 people become more computer literate than a lot of us here? Not a chance

the only reason I bought his album is I listened to several songs on the internet before hand. His attitude towards the issue makes me question whether I would want to buy his next album. i liked his album (and not just cause he posts on here) but the fact that he seemingly only gives a fuck about the paper turns me off.
you cats just dont get it, if lables make less money then they gonna spend less money,who do you think its gonna hurt? not the pop artist not the rock artist its gonna hurt the hip hop and rap artist really bad, they aint gonna spend any real money on a project cuzz they cant make it back from sales, so there goes videos,big promotions and a crew working your poject if you do get picked up,yeah it aint gonna stop but it still aint right.if somebody fucked you up for stealin they shit then up gotta live with it bottom line, i think we have alot of cheap muthafuccas that aint down for shit but bein cheap fuck all yall that dont want to pay people for the work they do, yall aint shit
The fact that the music industry is still a multi-billion dollar-a-year business means that there is a sizable profit margin for these companies. Kev Ski is right, they will spend less but it's only to maintain that same profit margin, not because they are taking actual losses. They will spend less so they can still make the same amount of money. When the balance is always in your favor and the amount of your paycheck doesn't change, how can you can't cry about "losing" anything?
The only requirement to keep the music industry alive is that consumers have to keep buying music. You can't drive a car that doesn't have any gas in it. Most people understand that and MOST people have no problem buying music they like. Like I said before, yes some people will take advantage but that's not the majority.
Like it or not, MP3's are here to stay and there's NOTHING anyone can do about it. The RIAA trying to threaten and sue everyone is really just an effort to prevent change and control the balance. In the end they'll fail because this is something that's been happening, will continue to happen, and can not be stopped.
People who embrace change are usually the first to benefit and profit from it. People who resist change always wind up conceding in the end because they have no other option. And they usually waste a lot of time & money before getting to that point.

You cant just complain your whole life. Or maybe you can. I dunno.
Either way, take the advice put on these boards by many smart cats, including JT... embrace the change... fuck what you THOUGHT you knew... and DO something about it.
I spend at least $70 bucks or so a MONTH on bay area rap. But I aint gonna lie, I also multiple thousands of MP3's, and my collection aint going anywhere.... ever. If a motherfucker puts out a weak CD, best believe your ass im going to download it.
Once again, Get with the times people.
