If this really is "the best of all industries" then what's with all the hostility? If you really want the industry to change then lead by example. Currently Fingers/V*G (et al), your leadership is by attack and hostility. To me, that's not very effective leadership.

I've read several people in this thread, including myself who have made money, gotten royalties and had a good time making music. Somehow this makes you angry because we did it without your V*G services or your V*G charts that you're attempting to peddle to us here.

If you seriously think that posting a bunch of well known artist names on a website, whom most of which are in the very same system that you/V*G are showing so much hatred for, gives you or V*G credibility then I don't know what to tell you. Obviously we don't believe you and instead of spreading more anger, maybe you should move on and attempt to sell your services somewhere else where artists aren't interested in protecting themselves by asking simple questions that don't get answers.

Brian, can we please lock this thread and let it go.
