If you visited our company site Altavoz.com today from 8am-8pm we blacked it out and if you knew the effort that I have expended to keep it online since May of 1995 and what this company does~  you would know that this is not just a symbolic act.  Now click our our company blog to read why. I know it's another blog, and that's the point it's something that I felt it's important to get a voice out from someone that has been in the music business since before the intertubes. So please click here to read more.. http://altavozdistroco.com/2012/01/18/why-we-blacked-out-altavoz-com/

I want to call out CNN for censorship on their website.  CNN is been  falsely  reporting that Digital Music Sales are now more then Physical sales and this shoddy reporting is being repeated around the world because of it being posted on their website. http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/05/technology/digital_music_sales/?hpt=hp_t3 If they bothered to get the rest of the widely made available report of had someone doing one ounce of fact checking over there they would see that as Billboard and the rest of the world reported alone the lines of this.... "On the other hand, when consumers made the decision to buy the album configuration, which means track equivalent album sales are excluded, more than two-thirds of the time (or 68.7%), they chose to purchase the physical album, as opposed to the digital album download, which accounts for 31.1%, with the remainder being music videos." http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/record-labels/soundscan-s-year-end-charts-the-numbers-1005...
