Why Pay for Music When You Can Move to China?

I refuse to pay for MP3s or any other music on line. I don't download it "illegally" either, so don't worry RIAA. So I only listen on the radio, live venues, and to bands that want me to listen to their work (i.e. they give it away). Meanwhlie sites like Hulu and major networks have figured out how to make money on me... ad supported free video watching. What a concept!

Intersetingly, this doesn't exist in the music realm. Despite that radio is just that! But in the meantime, Google and major music labels have teamed up to reward illegal downloading in China by putting just such a system in place!

"Google and the Big Four music labels have launched an ad-supported music service in China in an attempt to make online music profitable there. The venture, launched along with 14 independent labels, will have to compete with search engines that point users to thousands of copyrighted music files for free, but Google hopes that this will make it even easier for users to find what they want online while ensuring artists get paid for their work."

So to sum it up... if everyone downloads "illegally," we all win by getting free music. So I encourage you to do so... or at least stop paying for MP3s you fools!
