MP3.com once again offers music downloads

Well horray for the independent artists. So I guess it's ok to violate their copyrights. Seeing as how they're not "protected" by huge conglomerates. What a double-standard...

cart0181, what are you talking about? when mp3.com started all the way up 2001ish, they were all about independent artists distributing their music thru the site. It helped electronics artists like Skylab2000 and Sonic Groove have their music heard all around the world.

Skylab2000 and Sonic Groove???

exactly....sky what ? and sonic who ?

redtab99 I suppose if YOU haven't heard of them they must not be any good? Most good new music goes unheard largely because the Major (pain in the @$$) Labels would rather push the same tired old crap that their same tired old dinosaur acts grunt out.

I remember the way it used to be and it was alot of fun to find unknown artists. Alot of them might not have made it big but some of them did grow a following.. anyone heard of The Ataris? No one is violating the Independant Artists copyrights, it's thier choice on wether or not to add the music to the site.

MP3.com was great for finding Inde Jazz artists until the RIAA Gestapo sued it out of meaningful existence. I'm glad to hear its coming back however, I wonder exactly what form it will take. Perhaps AllofMP3.com could use this as an object lesson in how to deal with the RIAA and the Corporate Pirates that own everything.

So then the Mafaa closes it down,then swoops in buys it out....can you say hostile take over.....
