I love music and I sometimes listen to Pandora, You Tube, and Spotify. However, I also believe in paying for my music and not ripping off the artist. Pandora which does have a ton of great music on the site allows users to hear songs from artists, but the artist is getting paid very little for their music to be heard. Websites like Pandora need to stop cheating the artist and basically stop ripping off bands. Like it or not, making music is how a band makes a living and they should be compensated for that. Fans should also go back to buying CD's and other physical formats or paying for music from companies like Apple online. For many years, the music industry ripped off fans, now fans are ripping off the music industry. Two wrongs do not make a right.

I cannot believe how much bad stuff is on the Topix website. The website does not require user registration which should immediately tell users to stay away. It also contains next to no moderation. Your only option is to go on there and report abuse meaning you are forced to go on their website and that makes them money. In the last few years, Topix traffic has declined quickly, so there are few users left. The ones that did say are primarily "internet trolls" that get a kick out of posting people's names and trashing the person or persons. The community forums are a joke when it comes to "news" as there is very little of it there. It is a site that appeals to cowards who get a kick out of hurting others and any person with morals should have no use for that.
