Yep, because the artist or label themselves upload it and trackitdown pays publishing.

So frikin true, back in the early 90's the Internet of today where people can stream music and movies or download entire albums and movies did not exist. There were cassette tapes and VHS, people bought the movies that wanted to watch for what? $4-10 depending on the movie. Same with Cassettes and CDs, I remember my parents buying CDs all the time.
So whats changed from the 90's to today's Internet world? Simple, people got cheap and lazy and companies had to fight back. When Napster did damage to the record industry, it was only natural that prices were to go up to counteract the piracy uprise. Sure, there was piracy in the early days on DC networks and early P2P clients, but not on a massive scale as seen today. A majority of high school / college / young adults today use Limewire and other P2P clients because they think that it is (IDK, maybe cool, maybe accepted by society?)
Anywho, one problem that I have that I have is that Hardcore music and in general electronica music is not widely supported in my area of the US. Places like New York, Houston / Dallas, Arizona, and California all have those types of music scenes, but not the other 90% of the States. My only hope was listening to DI.FM, other electronica music stations, and Sirius (which is mostly progressive house, but they have ASOT on about everynight now)
What would be nice is if iTunes and Zune were to support Hardcore music and other related genres. I would love to buy digital copies of music that I love, but alas, they only carry the "popular" music like Rap, Rock, and Country. Oh, they have Electronica music, but its just PVD, Tiesto, Darude, Oakenfold, ect, ect. You know, all the MAINSTREAM people.

The problem is that the world is changing right before our eyes at an exponentional rate. Just look at whats happening with the new data rates, Terra byte even Peta byte speeds now and the sea of information is growing just as fast. The underlying problem is that governments, corporations, companies, organization, MNCs, and other businesses are using real world policies, laws, theories, and practices in the cyber world that is known as the Net or Internet.
Really what should happen is that the nations of the UN, EU, ASEAN, and other orgizational bodies should come together and draft a cyber law book that outlines the rights per citizen in each respective state / country, and defines what IS legal and what IS NOT legal. Thats the problem with today, is that this whole filesharing ordeal is viewed as a grey matter because it is not so concrete when real world law is applied to the cyberworld.

Rofl,
Do you think Microsoft and Apple ask every label so they can be added? How naïve isnt that?
It's the record/track owners that submit their stuff to iTunes or Zune. So fi you want to blame anyone for the lack of hardcore there, blame the producers you like.
It's more naïve that the big Media Corperations think they can stick to an old business model for so long, when basicly every other industry must renew/reinvent itself to keep it self alive

Oh I know that, there are some Hardcore albums on there, but they are from like 2002. Meh, I'll just get my fix on shoutcast.
