Music has been around for a very long time.
Musicians made music because it was their passion.
Music as an ‘industry’ has not been around nearly as long.

If you are a musician for the sole purpose of making money at it, i’ll
wager your product will sound just like .. well .. product.

If the industry folds, musicians will continue to write and play, as they always\
have, for the love of it.

The industry needs artists, not the other way around.

You have to ask the question, how on Earth is music going to survive is no one wants to pay musicians for making music…and for the fees Mr Berry is suggesting that are paid to record companies, that would equate to the tiniest fraction of a penny per year to the musicians themselves.

In a nutshell, treat Mr Berry with a GREAT deal of caution….
