Musician killed by a radio station ....
What would happen if all the music stopped at the same time ?
No more songs, videos, background music on tV, elevators, malls ,
no more cd's or ipod , film scores , or chessy love songs.
Imagine if all stopped at the same time ?
Well first of all people would start listening again ,
That would be a good thing. !
So now let's talk about ,thoses big commercial radio stations.
They make there money ripping off musician like you and me .
The whole business is based on advertising , and some dude reading the paper
out loud on the air . (They don't pay nearly enough for the music they use ! )
In Canada There's Socan ,who is suppose to collect royalty
on behalf of the musicians. I'm not saying they don't do there job, but they could do it better. They work with surveys .They say it's not cost effective to collect all the music being played in Canada .It would be to time consuming to do so .
But when it's time to collect the money it's another story.
They got to be kidding !
There's a law in Canada ,that's called the private copying mesure .
They collect money on all the blank medias being sold in Canada
,pretty soon on hard drives too if not already .
Part of the reason for the law is to counteract piracy.
They collect something like 20 cents off every blank cd-r
it add up to about 30 millions a years, which they redistribute
to us the music makers, But then again they distribute based on surveys.
To get it, you have to be part of a union and have signed contracts with union producer, something a young musician has a hard time getting .
Again, everything to kill the independant musician .
They continue to work with surveys,
(it's not everybody that's into top 40 music ! )
personally , i think it's not very clean .
And for the music industry , it's the same .
Right now it's a privilege to get your music on any commercial radio .
Musician have to beg and plead to get airplay .
( It can't be that way . We are the creators, we should give the orders,
we have to turn the tables .)
THEY DON'T PAY ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE MUSIC !
Here in Quebec Canada all they have to pay is 3 % of all advertisement revenues they make ,and they can play whatever they want,
any amount of time they want to .
I don't know about you , but it gets me real mad.
25 $ for a 30 seconds advertisement, about 4 to 5 hours a day, you do tha math !
thoses radios stations are making so much money off us it's CRAZY !
Thoses big stations should change there names to ADVERTISING stations ,
C'oz that's what they really are .They expect to have are music for free.,
c'oz we need them .
Things have got to changes !
What I'm trying to say is that things aren't what they should be ..
Which way should we use to remedy the situation ?
I can't say but letting people know can't hurt.
Thanks for reading , and take care .
