Thothanon says:

Record companies, angered at receiving free publicity from online personalities named after Dragonball Z characters or ICP members, have decided that people who wouldn't buy their music anyway are somehow losing them money. I guess it makes sense - after hearing most artists once, I have no desire whatsoever to hear them ever again. In related news, anyone playing their car stereo loud enough to be heard outside the vehicle must pay licensing fees to BMG, et. al.

Yeah, maybe if the music being put out didn't suck people would buy more of it.
