The question then becomes, how long can SOAD suckle the sour milk of Sony's teat before they totally compromise their recorded values? After all, you are what you eat. That's the other half of the Sony argument, that System scores for themselves a larger audience with the RIAA than they'd find otherwise, which means more people will hear and possibly listen to them. but in a world where people consider the likes of Billy Talent and Sum 41 political, System is still essential for the pop-rocking, socially unconscious Billboard subscriber. Are there any nu-metal fans that are really this hardcore? Is this not the conclusion anyone really listening to the Serj's lyrics would come to? Why is SOAD still allowing themselves to be released by such a miserable corporation? Can they not start their own label by now or at least find an independent? So many questions. For a band that almost exclusively releases fiercely antiestablishment, anti-capitalist songs, it's somewhat odd that they would want to make hypocrites of their fans so obviously like this, for to truly believe the words of Serj Tankian is to not support the likes of Sony BMG. Sure, the CD booklet and packages of Hyp/Mez are made with recycled hemp paper and soy ink, but every purchase nevertheless puts money in the pocket of one of the worst consumer raping business entities in existence today. Of course, in light of Sony's recent suing over their use of criminally invasive, corporate-developed rootkits (which allow criminals access to your computer while destroying hard drives upon effort of deleting the bastards, all in the quest for copy control), the fact that all SOAD releases so far carry the copyright mark of the BMG beast, in my mind, glaringly taints the message of the band and the purchase of its associated products.
