Last Stand
 | Yesterday, I began the first phase of what will truly be my last stand on the digital music matter. I attempted to contact the RIAA, but only time will tell if they even read their e-mail, much less are interested in helping bridge the gap between fans and the music they want to hear. I have a letter that will be mailed to Napster. Since they do not respond to online inquiries from me anymore, I'm gong the old fashioned route. I have drafted up a letter that I will attempt to send to major record labels in Japan. If that effort fails, then I will have failed.
I do not have the energy, or strength of will to be the ONLY person persistently pursuing this idealistic fantasy of being able to buy Japanese Pop music from the local digital music services. There is no point in my continuing a fight when I am the only one who shows up ready for a long term battle on the anime/Japanese Pop music fans' side. Once again, I have become the accepted reject, once again I find myself not fitting into the online community I've made my home.
After about a month, I'm sure I'll know at least something. If I don't hear anything at all by that time, I can be sure my efforts were in vain. I can only hope at least one letter is read and taken seriously. I can only hope that at least one label, one artist is willing to give the fans here a chance to access the music in a safe, legal, digital format. It would only take one to start a whole movement, at least, I'd like to believe that.
For those who seek to follow in my footsteps, try a different route, I'm wading neck deep in quicksand.
