Rewmember the controversy over Milli Vanilli in the 1980s, that they, *GASP!*  lip-synced their singing in concerts (like EVERY artist does)

The Partridge Family was created, loosely based on the Cowsills, a real rock &  roll playing famly.

Only 2 members of the PF could play an instrument & only one could sing -- the  rst played air &/or lip-synced.

Millions of dollars in album & concert revenues, & they were frauds from the  get-go!

I'm sure the producers kept most of it & paid out piddling salaries to the  child stars & actresses.

Now Danny Bonaduce (Danny Partridge) is famous, on radio, tv, etc, all because  of lies.  (if the newsmedia could use such weighted language to describe Milli  Vanilli, it's valid for me to use fior the same purpose)

I'm not defending Milli -- I wasn't into their music anyway. . .

I'm only questioning the hypocrisy & the unawareness of the buying public.

I'm guessing some of yas had to buy these records for your kids, especially if  you had girls?

Were you or they aware that this was just a tv family & not real arists, but  just liked the sound anyway?

Did they put on a good show at their concerts over & above the value of the  soundtrack playing in the background?

Silliness & Hollywood's so worried about 'pirates' downloading music for free!

I download freely. Because I'm stealing nothing -- theft removes some thing  from someone else -- I don't-I just copy it for my own enjoyment, leaving the  original unaffected.

[But you're stealing the price of the CD]

Nope, because I wasn't going to buy that overpriced($19.95-$24.99) POS anyway,  just for 1 or 2 songs!

I've been challenging them to take me to court for years, as I've got some  surprises up my sleeve if they do. but nothing. I'm bummed.
