Since when does “Ringtones” become music??
I guess as long as it sells and has sound it’s music. I wonder when RIA gonna start “Door Bell” ringer award.
Hey, there are more door bell ringer in the world than there is cellphone. I bet if RIAA can force door bell maker to pay royalty for all those pretty chimes, they’ll do it too.
The state of music industry is truely pathetic. Somebody really should clean up these criminals and barbarians.
