Boo hoo to Don Henley. He might just have to die a rich old man… who gives a shit. :P

I mean… really? This is becoming a REAL democracy.

The recording industry’s only “out” is to purely focus on marketing. That’s what they’re good at. We don’t need their recording studios or producers anymore.

I think because of the internet, governments will even have to change… and I mean much more drastically than the pathetic efforts we’ve seen… this is TRUE democracy in action.

That’s a BBC discussion on how the internet has affected the music industry, and how people are exposed to music. Fairly interesting, but the segment they broadcast on the World Service/online did seem to come out slightly in favourof the music industry’s current model, and the protection thereof.

Typically, the industry representatives involved did say that they were pro-legal downloads, but were talking about products being rolled out in the next 3 years, rather than any kind of short-term timeframe.
