Gone the way of the horse and buggy
The author of this article has more of an idea about what the music industry should be doing, quote:-
“Indeed, if the record companies could be persuaded to stop suing their
customers for 10 minutes, it might dawn on them that their best chance
for survival conceivably lies in buying interests in “stores” like the
Sam’s flagship and giving the music away for free — in an environment
where the customer, while he’s filling up his terabyte thumbnail hard
drive, is kindly given the opportunity to buy overpriced coffee, beer,
books, audio equipment, digital storage and concert tickets. But
instead they seem content to die from what amounts to a hunger strike
against the existence of the Internet“
