*promote the surprisingly pleasant voice and the message it's delivering

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Sunday, January 16th, 2011 11:18am PST - promote requested by radx.

I want to take her to Sizzler.

Is she for sharing too?

Lovely sentiment from a lovely artist.

And that's completely aside from the fact that many people believe piracy increases business by functioning like free advertising.

radio v.2

who is this Joss Stone? I want to download her music and then go to her live performances...

Joss has done some lovely soulful music and also is quite a good actor as well (The Tudors, seasons 3 & 4 and a couple of movies)

12h later and it's still a *quality voice

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by radx.

*british

Adding video to channels (British) - requested by calvados.

Unless the artist has their own label, like Metallica, Madonna, and several others, they make 10x the income from concerts than recorded music.

1,000,000 iTunes songs, they get MAYBE 5% = $20,000

10,000 sold out stadium, $75/tkt, most can get 50% = $350,000

The labels make money off albums and iTunes and whatever, the artist makes their money performing. Which, if you think about it, makes sense. Once the labels die, and advertising companies take over the industry, the world (of music) will be a better place. Recorded music needs to be looked at as advertising.

Is it wrong that I'm more attracted to the girl sitting next to Joss Stone? Damn my love of boobs, they have a level of control over me which I may never comprehend.

Those aren't boobs, they're personal flotation devices.

Last I checked, 5% of $1,000,000 is $50,000

The problem artists and bands have with piracy is it does affect live shows. The labels provide money to the artist to get a tour off the ground. For many young bands, without that starter money they wouldn't even be able to get started, therefore stunting their growth and ability to do a tour to make money. Lars of metallica said exactly this would happen. That being said, the issue isn't privacy bringing down the music industry. It's the shit the labels are trying to peddle off as music that's bringing it down. People don't want to go buy a shit cd. Most have two maybe 3 good songs if that. So people download the one or get the album and only listen to the one. If the quality went back up so would sales despite piracy. If I like a band I buy their cd even if I can download it because they are good and I know it supports them. Fans are going to keep paying for shit.

Do you think the record label will let them see a whole 5%? >> ^pmkierst:

1) Your math is correct, my point is still valid though.

2) Where'd you get my old avatar pic from? (Might be just me seeing my epic beardguy one though.)

With the amount of Ganja she seems to have vacuumed up, she'd probably accept.

Do you think the artist knows what 5% of a million is? I'm betting the labels make sure they don't.>> ^notarobot:
