Well this place no longer has any appeal for me whatsoever.
Once this place was a place I was proud of, but once again, politics and industry and people afraid to stand up and make change have had their way. 'S cool. Just not my thing. There's a time to fight for what you believe in, and a time to put down your side of the rope. This place is a drain and a drag and I don't believe in it anymore.
Thanks to those people who were supportive and knew the real shit that went down over the past few months.
Sorry I didn't get to know more of you.
Good luck especially to Evolution's Chaos, Ronnie, Thasp, JFF and anyone else who wasn't a complete horse's ass to me.

MESSAGEBODY: Mr.Hollings I know you are a busy man but I need to bring an issue up to you.It is about the major recording industry and how they through the RIAA and Through radio stations that are suppose to be publicly owned but are recieveing money from the record companies to play their artists and only their artists.They are trying to own something that is not theirs to own and that is music.The RIAA is a very crooked organization claiming to support artists rights from copyright infringements,but only making money accompanied by the major recording industry. They are trying to get rid of peer to peer file music sharing and one of their latest ideas is too hack the users computers which is an invasion of privacy.Senator remember when they were times when an artist such as Loretta Lynn,Elvis Presley could go to their local radio station and be played because of their talent and ability,well because of the RIAA and the major recording Industry which only consists of 5 companies and used to be well over a thousand have bought off the radio stations known as clear channel.This is totally illegal but they get away with it because it gets covered up.Sir all these organizations are pretty much telling the American people that the only thing they get to hear on major radio are major artists,and i think this is very unfair and very communistic.The Radio Stations belong to the public not the recording industry.Something has to be done too stop this these companies are far worse than Bill Gates and if you study them and all the companies they own,one would find that they are way beyond a trust or monopoly.I am one of these artist that i speak of who is very talented but because of this illegal situation going on I can't even go to my local radio station in a country I served for and get my songs played.I understand this might not mean much too you but it is all i have itis my passion for life and they are millons of others just like me.The reason the RIAA are trying to stop internet piracy has nothing to do with artists rights it has to do with them being a puppet through illegal payoffs from The 5 major Recording Companies.You see the record companies only pay an artist about $1.50 for every cd sold and the rest they get,also when an artists records or does a video these are all paid back to the record company from the artists cd sells that they are only making $1.50 a cd for.That is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to them and their fine print contracts.Do you know that artists have written songs and never made a dime because the recording companies have been screwing them for years.I can name several number1 hits that are still being played today and the songwriter and artist are not making a dime from.Senator this not just a business but it is also our culture,I myself being from the south know what music has done for my life.Think about those songs you listen to all of your life that make you remember the past through memories from a song you heard during a special time of your life.Well those memories come from artists like myself who deserve a fair shake. Here is my link for my song that my local radio want play but they play on radio all over the world.The USA is the only country who has this kind of problem for their artists,singers,musicians.Everyone of the other countries Radio or record companies are easier to get to and more supportive of us.Here is my link to my music http://millerdmusiccom.dmusic.com or www.cdbaby.com/bradmiller cdbaby is a site that supports indie artists but I onlymake $1.00 of the $5.00 a customer pays for my cd.I represent a Massive amount of voters and tax payers.I just hope that you understand how serious this issue is. Thanks and God Bless, Brad Miller

Just a suggestion. Before you come on to a site for the first time, and proclaim it to be your "sister site", you might want to ask first if in fact we are your sister site.
Hell of a first post, especially for someone who didn't post any music here. Regards.

Hey dmusic,
I'm new to the site but I am extremely impressed. I've got a sister site called www.anti-industry.com and I was checking out potential sites to distribute a compilation CD the original unsigned artists on my site have submitted.
There's a contest going on for a cash prize (all footed by me, major music fan and partial musician) of $250 for the best original song.
Anyway we're getting a lot of responses, and I wanted to talk to someone from the site about distribution. Would someone be so kind as to email me at jkate@anti-industry.com?
To any unsigned artists - if you're interested in submitting for the CD, check out this thread for details:
http://www.anti-industry.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php? t=21
I'd like to maybe release a second album at the end of the summer, so there's time for more submissions
We're thinking about paying the artists a small royalty for their participation. Come by and check it out!
Thanks so much!
