I doubt the entire music industry will follow suit for at least another decade...]]>Nov 15th 2007 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/Nov 15th 2007 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/Nov 15th 2007 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/Nov 15th 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/
Great... The last thing I want is the record companies trying to milk more money out of me by bundling in more crap that I don't want. Dammit, just let me buy the songs/albums that I want without DRM and I'm happy. I have absolutely no interest in videos or sodding ringtones. I mean, what's next? Bundling ringtones with music singles and calling it a Ringle? Oh, wait...]]>Nov 15th 2007 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/Nov 15th 2007 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/Nov 15th 2007 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/Nov 15th 2007 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/Nov 15th 2007 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/Nov 16th 2007 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/15/edgar-bronfman-admits-to-inadvertently-going-to-war-with-music/
If Warner wants to us to truly believe they've seen the error of their ways, they need to sever all ties they have with the RIAA. Otherwise, Edgar's speech is just lip service.

Whether Warner acknowledges it or not, the RIAA is still 'waging war' against consumers. (Who are we kidding? They're well aware of it.)

I think we should continue to boycott the big four labels until they are truly sorry, and are willing to change their ways.

This is a good time to boycott them, with the writer's strike happening. Some of these companies who also do television programming are going to be really hurting economically over the next few months. Let's kick them while they're down.

Let's pledge to not purchase any music on large record labels until the writer's strike is over. Who's with me?
