He used to work for them so he must know what goes on and they never publicly criticise or contradict him. He's either got it right or they are so arrogan they don't think they'll get taken on the government for their behaviour this guy must get hate mail from the record companies in Australia.

Record companies are scared of the digital revolution in great part and in addition to the "sharing" problem because of the advantages in having a lame excuse for the archaic accounting of CD production and royalty payments. Having been involved in a few royalty payments (lack of, really) I am amazed how big music industry companies are still doing manual accounting and royalty reports. With digital disribution the day will come when record companies may have to report sales and make deposits on a daily basis to artist and songwriter bank accounts and simultaneously to the tax authorities. They will simply have no chance or time to cook the books or to produce ficticious royalty reports, without getting cought. Ad the making of records without authorization as Sony did with the music on my family, forget it. Its a new era and they are scared. The age of fake accountig is nearing the end.
