I know i know it's all the illegal downloader's fault. The fact is 0ver 90% of today's music is absolute GARBAGE that's not even worth wasting your bandwidth downloading this shite. Nevermind actually buying it.

Miley
Britney
Jonas Brothers

im pretty sure the only people who buy music anymore are under the age of 13… i mean mylie and jonas bros on top of the billboard? everyone else is auto tuned and sounds the same and dumbasses like chris brown makes songs that are straight up double mint gum commercials. Mainstream music is dead the record industry should take a hint before they loose even more of our business.

i'll add my two cents and agree all the new music is shite. not just gaga and miley and the jonas brothers. coldplay-suck! black eyed peas- suck! pcd-suck! kanye-suck! jason mraz-meh. lily allen-meh basically it's all who cares and why should i spend my hard earned dough on that.

Lack or real talent, poor attempts at music, and albums that are just lackluster are the real reasons why the music industry is failing on so many levels.

It's also a wonderful thing when sites like thepiratebay.org win their lawsuits, and torrents and sharing are protected by foreign courts.

"Global music sales were down a disheartening 8% in 2008, according to a new report."

Considering the plethora of music that all sounds like the garbage you deem to be "music" Perez, is this really all that surprising?

Also, I see you are again C-E-N-S-O-R-I-N-G and blocking comments that you don't like. Nice. Real nice.
