Just don't participate.<BR/>While the RIAA and DRM are certainly things to rail against, BRtC hasn't specifically been about those issues. BRtC has been about flexing new-media muscle and showing the status quo that it is a force to be reckoned with. Sure, having to dl iTunes and buy a DRM'd AAC track from Apple isn't exactly what I see as stickin' it to the Man, but that's a pocket the Man might pay attention to.E'l Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11363795387349771716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609935435454323280.post-38276608096916506832007-03-22T17:18:00.000-07:002007-03-22T17:18:00.000-07:00I've now been able to sign up using my AOL account.

Why? Either put 100% of the profit back into the movement (if 10 people buy the $1 song and the profit is $8.50, you can buy the song 8 times, then you have $6.80 + $0.50, so you can buy it 7 times, and so on and so forth until all profit is reinvested in itself).<BR/><BR/>OR.. donate ALL the money. Why should some random band I've never heard of retain the profit of a social movement?<BR/><BR/>If either of those approaches are used, I'll be happy to spend a buck. If not, fuck that.Granthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10502166316107372875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609935435454323280.post-87457441338868538162007-03-22T08:51:00.000-07:002007-03-22T08:51:00.000-07:00I paid the money. I'm all for the experiment, but the song kind of sucks. I haven't seen anyone else mention that they like it. Everyone has their own tastes but this is like a cheap ripoff of U2 but not quite as good. I don't really care that much for U2 either. <BR/><BR/>Yeah and Dan before me is right. I was going to gift the song to my daughter and some other friends but I'm certainly not going to send her that album art. Wouldn't it be kind of creepy getting that from your dad?greggluhringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04104020894485565072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609935435454323280.post-67691274964522883712007-03-22T08:28:00.000-07:002007-03-22T08:28:00.000-07:00Here's another gripe about this idea, and perhaps it's a minor one:<BR/><BR/>I'm as big a fan of boobies as the next guy/gal, but why'd you choose a track where the album art prominently features a topless lady?<BR/><BR/>I saw a comment from a teacher who wanted to send this link out to his students; I can't imagine this would go over well with those kids' parents. Nor would it attract the casual supporter who wants to help the cause but would rather not have any nudie pix on their iTunes/iPod when the song plays.<BR/><BR/>The US is lot more prudish than some realize.

How do you figure that buying something is sticking it to the man? And do you really, honestly think that someone at the RIAA is gonna notice and say, "Oh shit, Black Labs sales are up! People are making a statement!" No. They won't. No one at the RIAA is going to care, and Apple is going to make a fat chunk of change off of you idiots.Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09207434250338945189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609935435454323280.post-8366207311807590552007-03-21T18:17:00.000-07:002007-03-21T18:17:00.000-07:00Being canadian, if I purchase on itunes canada will it give an effect ?Ennevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03016822647190419774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609935435454323280.post-74617254834107223712007-03-20T20:38:00.000-07:002007-03-20T20:38:00.000-07:00great idea.<BR/><BR/>however, in your ass-over-teakettle enthusiasm to stick it to the man, you inadvertently highlighted why record labels, however misguided and outmoded, have relevance - their ability to promote artists, not themselves:<BR/><BR/>there is not a single link anywhere on your blog to Black Lab's website/myspace page/whatever. sure, the info is only a google away, but still...Joshuahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10119772402346358061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609935435454323280.post-27469531499888367202007-03-20T16:42:00.000-07:002007-03-20T16:42:00.000-07:00Wait, you have to buy it from iTunes?
