Sorry, I meant writers.

I believe Henry Emrich claims that the publishers are date-raping the writers. The musicians willingly go along and end up getting fucked (not a bad analogy).
He further claims that file-sharing will kill the industry for everyone (mass murder).

This is where the analogy breaks down. There will still be a market for songs even after the horrible internet decimates the industry.

Anyway, that is how I read it.

“dumb writers who give us their songs”

1. Are you retarded?
2. Lemme get this traight: because the present “publishers” (as you call them) consistently fuck over those actually CREATING what they publish (”get 95 percent of the profits! Nobody can disprove this!!”) the “solution” is to embrace methods of “distributioN” which fuck over those creating things for 100 PERCENT? That makes perfect sense to me.

The perfect solution to date-rape? Mass murder.
Makes perfect sense to me.

We?
Get his right. We are the publishers, not the dumb writers who give us their songs.

Bullshit too. When ASCAP says “songwriter” and “arist” they mean ASCAP CONROLLER MUSIC PUBLISHERS.

At the end, the publishers get 95 percent of the cut. No one can disprove this.
