How to use a failing business model

I’m siting in my room taking a break from life and i’m rocking out to some lovely Paramore, here i’ll give their myspace a plug:

Jmo and I started listening to them about a year and a half ago. We were competing. Trying to find the most random bands we could find, whoever picked the band we liked the best “won”. Sort of. In the end we just found wonderful bands to listen to. So I found Paramore and listened to like..3 songs off the web. But 3 songs doesn’t cut it. How did i find out what they sounded like? I downloaded their album. The whole thing. No DRM. OMG WHAT?! Yes it’s true. A band who i’ve downloaded and passed around to all my friends, is now getting mass press and i’m sure starting to make some mad money. At least Radiohead and NIN figured out what to do. Leave the RIAA. To put it best, i’ll quote someone about Radiohead’s latest album

Unkown: It’s weird, now that I don’t have to pay anything for the music I suddenly feel like paying.

I support music and the artists that make it. Go download an album today.
