Well its been fun (HA, pause not)

This is in response to Greg Matthews blog post on music piracy, in which he poses the question; 
"is our generation likely to be in favor of or fight against music piracy? " (i think it was kinda jumbled)

I think that our generation knows that by downloading music illegally, we are hurting, in most cases, our favorite musicians who are in turn losing money. But we know that there are still people who will pay to download and pay RIDICULOUS prices to see their favorite bands and musicians live. So they are still doing well for themselves.

I think that if our generation were to fight anything, we should be fighting record companies and programs like iTunes which take a large chunk of the money that should be going to the artist who is doing the work while they just sit there and rake in the dough.

I would still be more likely to go to YouTube or Spotify to listen to the music over downloading or paying for something. But for my favorite band, I would be more likely to download their work directly from them rather than through iTunes and have a share of their money get put towards a giant money hungry company.


and as the saying goes, "Thats all she wrote, folks".

Never blogging again

Blog 25 (A)

this is the final type A blog I will be making in Marketing 331, what a long strange trip its been.

For my final blog I'd like to talk about the gloriousness that is .99 cent Arizona Iced Tea. I am currently sipping on a Grapeade and loving every sip of it. How great is their advertising? Never on TV, never in print, just word of mouth, and a small yellow block on their can that says "Great Buy 99c"

From the first Arizona I saw, I knew I would be buying it based on the little yellow block alone. What a bargain. Since then I've been hooked, whenever I am parched and in a convenience store, I always know right where I am going. Right to that familair logo and yellow 99 cent box. What a bargain indeed.

How awesome are .99 Cent Arizona Iced teas?
