Demonoid Aftermath: An Open Letter to the CRIA. In the aftermath of the recent demonoid turmoil, "A former music buyer" posted an open letter to the CRIA - an impressive summary of what's wrong with the music industry and how they alienate their customers. The RIAA and the CRIA have to rethink their business models, closing down p2p sites does not solve the problem. To Whom It May Concern at the CRIA: I have been an avid music collector for many years, and have approximately 1000 CD’s in my collection, not counting albums that I have purchased over the internet and own only digital copies of. I purchase approximately 30-40 new CDs per year. I listen to heavy metal music, a form of music that “the industry” stopped supporting many years ago, so I have a hard time feeling any sympathy. 25 years ago, I primarily learned about music from friends who dubbed a copy onto a cassette tape, where I could listen to it and make a decision if I wanted to buy the tape for myself.

I know not only the record companies are crying. Sincerely, Music to use » Search. AccuRadio online radio | Listen to free Internet radio. Pandora Internet Radio - Find New Music, Listen to Free Web Radio. Music-Map - The tourist map of music.
