| I have to admit, a lot of the stuff that's out on MTV right now really, really sucks. All the music sounds the same to me, and the only good thing about it is (maybe) seeing some half-naked, anorexic chick dancing around. No offense y'all, but I'd just as soon not buy anything that's out right now (that's popular, anyway). Even if any of it sounded decent, the CD's are what, twenty bucks a pop? Screw that! Most of the stuff I listen to I've discovered over the 'net, and normally you can buy the CD directly from the band for ten dollars or so, and everyone winds up happy.
How do you stop trading on Kazaa, Imesh, etc.? Price the CD's in the stores decently (like Universal's started to do, so ten bucks, maybe). Combine that with a "no-tolerance" policy towards trading sites. If people can get their music at a fair price, there's no reason to use a file-sharing service, and they can be fairly penalized.
