You made some decent points there. I looked on the internet for the issue and found most individuals will go along with with your website.

I’m a little late on this I know, Maybe Garth is thinking about all the people who work on his music and ever other music track you hear and download everyday…ever think about that. they are the ones who are getting screwed..not Garth. my guess is he knows it. And for what it’s worth…I’ve seen Garth give up his publishing share so a writer on a song could make more…Whats publishing?…go read a book and learn about it then keep on stealing shit that is paying other peoples salaries… RIAA is a bunch of jackasses…on that we can agree!!
get over “free”already!

The only real reason for lousy music sales is… lousy music. Thank you, Mr. Brooks, for proving that point in textbook fashion.

Oh yeah now I remember..

Aw, I’ve got friends in crawl spaces
I’ve got arms and legs and a few faces
Stashed all around
In different parts of town
Well I met ‘em in bars on a friendly basis
Now I got ‘em in jars and flower vases
Oh, I’ve got friends
In crawl spaces

Garth Brooks is a fucktard that started his damn whining years ago.

I purchased a few of his earlier CDs but stopped as soon as his whining began.

I do some work for a large midwestern university and I guarantee that the RIAA reports are bullshit. The university gets about one or two notices per month out of about 20-25,000 students.

Just a bunch of lying lawyers.

Yet another mind-numbed ignoramus that believes whatever his corporate and government masters tell’s him.

He should be neutered.

Let’s not forget this other lovely pearl that ARS reported on long
ago..

“Oops: MPAA admits college piracy numbers grossly inflated”

Unbelievable.

After commissioning a 2005 study from LEK Consulting that showed collegiate file-swappers were responsible for 44 percent of movie studio “losses” to piracy, the MPAA then used the report it bought to bludgeon Congress into considering legislation to address this massive problem. Now the MPAA admits that the report’s conclusions weren’t even close to being right; collegiate piracy accounts for only 15 percent of “losses.” Oops. And that’s assuming you believe the rest of the data.

The Associated Press broke the news today; apparently, the MPAA is busy notifying government and education officials about the blunder…

#33–jamie==you ask: “Can anyone make a rational explanation as to why I shouldn’t get any payment for my work?” /// You tell me why an assemblyman on a Detroit Car Line should not be sent a check each time you drive to the store for groceries and you will have one answer.

Another answer is: “Should your grandchildren also get paid 75 years after you die?”

But the law is the law and you should get paid thereunder. When the law is greatly disrespected though, you get painted with the same brush.

To hell with him, Country music’s been dying out anyway. The greats are all gone. Maybe Garth could use his money to bring back HEE HAW, properly done that would make him more money than complaining about the government. Or better still do what real artists have done since the beginning of time, give concert tours. Every body knows the real money goes to those that really work for it. The idea that an artist should be able to live for years off of a couple of weeks work in a studio, that’s a pipe-dream that few can achieve and none can maintain.

The truth is Brooks is a Liebertarian. What’s his is his and fuck anyone that wants it. Too bad. Be a responsible person and go make your own phucking record.

You can have his records when you pry them from his cold clammy hands.

Really, Garth sold his last CDs at Walmart. That should give evidence of his position on the cluetrain. Gave up listening to music radio last year.

#43: Just to be fair, many musicians can’t read music, especially true of rock and country music. It’s been said that the Beatles couldn’t read music at all, but it didn’t keep their talent from making them famous.
