Metalica is the whole reason for internet piracy. NO one knew anything about but a minimal amount of people and Metaillica basically gave Napsterand other internet piracy softwares free exposure and promotion by suing them. They weren't going to win that battle.Originally Posted by JohnnyRedStorm

Its more of a con for the artist.
I remember when Thr33 Rings was about to come out, and DJ Skee was asking T-pain how much he thought he was going to sell in the first week,
and dude said 126,000 units exactly. I was likedude doesnt seem to have much faith in his record, but dude ended up selling like 122,000 first week.
So with that said, artists that really want to make money really need to turn themselves into a brand if the really want to make money, because nowadays they know better than to have their income depend on their records sales alone. So now they have to find more endorsements, shows, etc. unlike back in the day (ie before the myspace era) where artists made most of thier money off sales.
Oh wow how could I forget that. Good looks
