First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win ~ Mahatma Gandhi
the only thing that really seems to make sense. Isn’t this blog outdated since the ISPs are doing deals
with all the major labels to pass on a monthly fee to the consumer’s through your internet provider
anyway? Nobody will care where they get their music because it will be open to everyone for a monthly
connection fee either by mobile phone or access provider. After that, it becomes only a matter of choice
where you get your downloads, streams or music fix. The ISPs are the new music royalty collection agents
of the future.

I will continue to download whatever takes my fancy. I was tired of paying $15 to $20 bucks for a CD of (mostly) crap. I just don’t care anymore. I’ll download until he cows come home – or the music biz goes tits-up. Your’e making 6 figures for writing and selling music and still crying that your’e not getting enough. Kiss my ass. I just don’t care about the artists, the execs or any of it. Fuck you all.

No wonder the music industry is f**ked, just go and watch Britain’s got (no) talent.
