When will the recording industry ever learn?

Labels Target Lyrics Sites.

When is the RIAA going to wise up and realize they're destroying their own industry.

On a tangent, do you realize how long it takes artists to legitimately license a song? There are so many hoops an artist has to jump through to give a songwriter their fair share, and let's face it, most musicians don't have a head for business. Some do, many don't. Especially the ones that succeed.

So why must the labels and their lawyers make it extra hard for those who want to do things the right way to get paid?

And back on the topic of the article, is it indicative of just how bad things in the recording industry are? Now that they've shut down Napster they have to go after sites who reprint lyrics without permission (or more to the point without paying royalties)? And do they really need to nail people for sharing guitar tab? It seems they actually do not want to inspire musicians to learn their music. It makes it easier to groom talentless crap bands like they've done for the past 8 years.

Best movies of 05

The studio that produced the film was Lucasfilm. 20th Century Fox was little more than the distributor.

Back on topic: Does anybody feel the films of 05 were VASTLY superior to 04? Last year was horrendous. This year was a bit better than average in terms of movie quality. Not 1994, but certainly not 2004 either.

I had a line in the first draft of my Ep III reedit that said "Sith Lords will not share your compassion. If you let it, it will destroy you, as it almost did me." I ended up not using it and re-assembling those lines differently, but I did like how that line essentially boiled down what was in the script using Liam's existing dialogue. The notion being that his compassion is what led to his death, but is also what led him into eternal life.

I could probably scrounge it up if it suits your purpose. I think I kept all my rough drafts.

And that is one Constitutional amendment that will NEVER get through. I give my fellow citizens a lot of credit here. Whether or not Ahnuld would be a good president is irrelevant. There is no way 2/3 of all states would ratify to allow naturalized citizens the Big Chair. California, New York and maybe Mass. and Oregon would go for that. Nobody else. Not even liberal ol' New Hampshire. They're too proud of the electoral process as it stands.

In a twisted way, I do. Partially because I think they shortchanged the storyline by dropping Gwen Stacy from Spider-Man 1 (James Cameron's draft had her original storyline intact) and partially because I think Kirsten phoned in her performance in Spider-Man 2. I thought she was pretty dang good in the first movie, but two years of partying or something had clearly taken their toll by the second film. She didn't look as good, she didn't act as good, and in the end, I felt myself wondering why Peter bothered with her.

And I'm not supposed to be feeling that way towards her character.
