The comment that HJ Bird [merry Christmas to you] made is a valid one ,but the RAGTM protest is about the future of the music industry as a whole not just Christmas which some feel passionate about
No one is forcing people to buy RAGTM, it is about offering an alternative to the X factor which which people can rally around . We live in a democracy it's a protest song ! You chose to buy it or you don't.
Rubbish.....'The future of the Music industry'?????.....
....What total nonsense.
The charts, for this is what you are protesting about, have always simply been a tool for record companies to make their profits....Yes, the make-up of them have changed, especially since the introduction of the 'download', but the charts have always been a reflection of the general people's tastes....This so-called protest is an absolute joke, driven by people who have some nonsensical idea that the charts were once a credible existance, full of credible music...
Cowell and his puppets aren't my cup of tea, but rather than be suckered into the hype, which is all this campaign has done, I will simply continue what I have always done and simply listen to, and buy, the music that I want to listen to and I will ignore the charts, which in the main for myself, have always been in a shocking state, and certainly were a long time before Cowell and his X Factor machine got involved...
