I wouldn't blame the RIAA, but rather the folks that fund these
activities....

EMI
Sony BMG Music Entertainment
Universal Music Group
Warner Music Group

Clearly they understand the financial ramifications of losing their
distribution model and will hire as many lawyers as they can to stop
it from happening.

Peter Gabriel is promoting a new distribution model ("WE7") whereby
music can be downloaded for free, but you have to endure embedded 10
second adverts. Nice one, Pete! Funny how none of his material is
available on the site. I'm sure he would be happy as larry if 'Passion
Sources' had Persil and Colgate adverts between tracks.




If you substitute D for B, U for I and then discard the T and L you can make
the anagram 'Pure Greed' from 'Peter Gabriel'....

Just tried it out - signed up and downloaded a couple of tracks. No
idea what the ads were, as they are easy to chop off before you play
them. As for quality, they are just-ok 192k MP3s, so not really worth
shelling out actual cash for.

No more than I would have expected: I downloaded a coupla dozen (legit)
tracks from Audio Galaxy when the whole idea was new, but soon lost
interest - they weren't really anything I wanted.

Ya don't get owt for nowt in this life and the Internet has done nothing to
change that!

Does all this kerfuffle mean you chimps actually like Peter Gabriel? Oy
vey...

You fossils should perk up if The Decemberists come to town. They're
American but they're skilled in musical performance. (Joke.) I thought the
lead singer might be Aussie or Irish, but it turns out he's from Montana.
Maybe the weird pronunciation is an affectation. He sings like the
old-time rocker Del Shannon.

AFAIK, the band does not pay homage to Russian revolutionaries. Now enough
about Peter Gabriel and let's get into some new music!

And if you exchange the "i" for an "h" and add an "a" and an "r", you
get "Peter Whacker".

Worthless knows I KFed him a while ago. Isn't it pathetic how the nerds
