Don't be so gosh. Learjets are too small for any thief worth his salt. The really good ones are flying around in Gulfstream V's.

lol. Maurice, I think you should listen to him. The guy flies jets for a living.

Doh! I've read enough Grisham that I should have known that the really good thiefs fly Gulfstreams, and not Learjets, but I just wasn't thinking...lol.

I just remembered that the RIAA had a similar article on thier site. If anything, it is comical.

They start the whole thing off with, " While the RIAA does not collect information on the specific costs that make up the price of a CD, there are many factors that go into the overall cost of a CD..."

I love it. They're saying, "We really don't know anything, but here are some thoughts without concrete facts."

Anyway, check out their article. They lie through their teeth by acting like they care with statements such as, "Of course, the most important component of a CD is the artist’s effort in developing that music."

All who beleive the RIAA when they say that, go buy the Scropion King Soundtrack for 19 bucks.

"Another factor commonly overlooked in assessing CD prices is to assume that all CDs are equally profitable. In fact, the vast majority are never profitable. After production, recording, promotion and distribution costs, most never sell enough to recover these costs, let alone make a profit. In the end, less than 10% are profitable, and in effect, it's these recordings that finance all the rest."

Really? Why not just cut out all that crap and utilize this new technology called "The Internet"? Or how about hiring talent as opposed to the latest trend? That way, you might have some artists that last longer than three months.

Just some thoughts.
