[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In regards to Walmart and music, Walmart controlled much of the public's access to music in the more rural areas of the country until digital music buying became more prevalent.  But I haven't forgiven them!

And for those who think it all about dollars, maybe you should think about people more, and less about your bullshit Econ 101 class that you keep regurgitating.[/quote]

I actually worked for three years enforcing internet copyright protection for artists, so as a matter of fact I am very pro-artist.  But that does not make me blindly pro-artist.

Walmart did not control access to music in rural areas.  That is bullshit from someone who probably never lived in a rural area.  I lived in the middle of Missouri for years and we had record stores.  We had independents, we had chains like Peaches and others.  And I know for a fact it was the same way in small towns Indiana and Kansas.

The labels are upset because Walmart priced their CD's so low that Walmart had major market share.  That is NOT an issue of access.  I was always free to choose where I bought, and I was always able to get the uncensored CDs.

Don't confuse the consumer with the label or the artist.[/quote]
