So TRUE!!! Musicians & artists don't care about MONEY... All they want is drugs, girls, several expensive cars, a few big houses around the world, lots of "bling", and fame...
Ugh, the last time I checked it takes money to get all those things.

It's sad to see that all those artist are way on the "has been" genre, and instead of begging for money, (or in "Marley's state" case just try to living off the work of somebody else) they should be GLAD that some people still search for their old material, since they haven't released a SINGLE album worth buying in YEARS IF NOT DECADES,all they do it's releasing "best hits" stuff, and I say this as a 80's music addict..
If you want attention and need money write new good stuff and people will come to you, simple as that...

"And hey Michael - do you want us to pay you in small kids maybe?"
I loled
haha, this is pretty good. it seems like the US is firing the cannons at The Pirate Bay, and they really couldn't care less. I love to see just how much they don't give a f*ck, gives me the sense that there are still some righteous beings out there that don't lie down and take the law up the *ss
nice, though
i must admit, brilliant scheme at trying to get ABBA to join. however, what exactly is it going to do? suing on soil won't get them any further. it's just going to be as pointless and ridiculous as now.

Suprised that the estate of Bob Marley is listed...I agree, Bob never really cared about the money, it was all about the music for him. The whole thing is just based on greed, I mean come on, half of the list that was stated doesn't get much exposure anymore, so no wonder...that is like putting in The Commodores in the list as well...
To me it is just crying wolf and in all honesty, it sickens me that they would even name Bob Marley in that list, as being from jamaican ethnicity, I know damn well that Bob didn't care too sense about the money because for him, it was all true...the music and the people. To unite as one...funny, how things just fall apart like that, now these money grubbing fools have to dredge up old name bands as if it will cause an up roar...no thank you, now if they named current ones or whoever, I can understand that.
MJ was good, back in the day, and yeah as one poster put it, he is totally messed up...sucks for him, but hey, you roll with it.
BTW, that comment was priceless about the payment in small kids...had me lmao at work!
Great article btw.

come on guys stop the anti homosexual and paedophile remarks please. has michael jackson ever been found guilty?
RE: prince, ub40, they have made a fortune. prince even turns up from time to time and gives free concerts in London, he really doesn't need any money. Ali Campbell has a huge house near bentley heath, w,midlands that is worth over 9 million excluding his riding stables and farm, so i doubt he cares.
Bob marley was very anti capitalist, who also on many occasions played for free, bob marley if you listen to his songs were very political spreading love & unity & freedom from tyranny & oppression from the corrupt governments and about the rastafarian religion, sion(zion) the promised land.
i think he would be rolling in his grave if he knew his messaged to mankind was only available for a $ but copyright lasting 170 years is not there to protect the artists!

I can say that the Marley estate is milking Bob for everything. They throw around his name and put it on everything. I was working on a website for Bob Marley School for the Arts Institute in Jamaica. I quit when I found out that it is a big scam where they steal people's money. There is no school. People go down there and go on a tour where they spend money on stupid crap.

lol cuz everyone listens to the village people...
i agree with everyone, its stupid, artists that are dead are just trying to get noticed again.
i'd keep buying cd's if it wasn't hit or miss all the time.
but the media is too controlled, so ima get off my ass and load all my stuff unto the pirate bay, we gotta try and do something, otherwise these forums wont help anything... yo

Oh my God! Michael Jackson of all people. I stopped listening to his music after the second "incident". I find the guy, if we can call him that, repulsive.
