QUOTE (impala454 @ Oct 5 2007, 12:31 PM)  yeah, why should someone be paid for their work... I really don't think you're comprehending the argument I just made... I wasn't arguing that people shouldn't get paid for work they rightfully did. I'm arguing that record labels do work that isn't necessary and then expect to get paid for it. Record labels' existence makes the music industry worse for everyone, artists especially. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
