Over at Yahoo news there is an interview with Jeff Tweedy (frontman for Wilco) – who is, in my opinion, one down to earth kinda guy. He basically states he sees no problem with file sharing and closing it would be like “closing a library.” The best part of the interview was when Tweedy said ” You can’t just sit in your home studio and crank out records and get rich” (*cough Metallica cough*).
I agree completely. As a matter a fact I would never purchase music from the cry babies like Metallica. I mean these guys make more in one year than I will in my entire life, yet they aren’t content. For the absurd amount these musicians make I feel that they should go on tour and really earn it. I mean yeah I would like to work from home and make millions, but times are changing. Get used to it.

You heard it right, the people over at Yahoo News are reporting that Movie theatres are going to keep upping there ads within the theatres.
Ad forecasters at ZenithOptimedia said on Monday that spending on in-theater ads, usually shown before the trailers, rose by 18% this year to $400 million – and likely will go up by about 15% each year through 2008.
The worst part is no matter what, they are going to keep blaming P2P sites for crappy sales, when in actuality the ads are probably the reason people don’t go. I know Im personally not pleased with this decision, with a lot of households having Big Screens now, I think this will make even more people call up NetFlix and settle in.
