It's not bad enough that RIAA is ripping off musicians, now the cell phone companies are doing their best to do so!  25% !?  Can you believe this crap?  I mean, it's as if the artists put a quarter of the effort into CREATING the music, and Cingular puts 75% into MAKING A FREAKIN RINGTONE OUT OF IT!  <br>This is the worst possible form of exploitation I've seen in a while.  If I was a band on MySpace, I'd GLADLY turn down such "Generocity" from Cingular...  Don't even get me started on the PRICE for a ringtone - a FULL Song can be had for a US Dollar on iTunes, and most new phones have mp3 playback capability (and at least enough storage memory for 1 song), so how on this world do the cell phone company get off wanting to charge $2.50 FOR A RINGTONE?!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rudy P]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2006 1:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/07/cingular-to-help-myspace-bands-create-sell-ringtones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/07/cingular-to-help-myspace-bands-create-sell-ringtones/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree, it is a freakin rip off, but on the other hand, it is nice to see Cingular "helping" no-name bands get a presence...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Blair]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 8th 2006 1:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/07/cingular-to-help-myspace-bands-create-sell-ringtones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/07/cingular-to-help-myspace-bands-create-sell-ringtones/</guid><description><![CDATA[eh, beats verizons 4 dollar ones. definatly still a ripoff but it will gradually get better year after year as cell phones are more capable of home-made ringtones. i just use my treo and a ringtone program that does mp3s that i purchase, and chop them down. so easy]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan Fishkin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2006 2:02AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/07/cingular-to-help-myspace-bands-create-sell-ringtones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/07/cingular-to-help-myspace-bands-create-sell-ringtones/</guid><description><![CDATA[www.mynumo.com does this for Cingular and T-Mobile with Sprint coming soon.<br><br>Not just for ringtones, but for wallpapers and videos too.<br><br>Check it out.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[William Volk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2006 5:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/07/cingular-to-help-myspace-bands-create-sell-ringtones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/04/07/cingular-to-help-myspace-bands-create-sell-ringtones/</guid><description><![CDATA[www.mynumo.com is already doing this on Cingular, T-Mobile, and (soon) Sprint ... not just for Ringtones ... but for wallpapers and videos too.
