Re: CD sales vs pirate downloads.


 

Hi Will,

You are missing my point.

Major labels are not making the money they used to
quite simply because they do not publish music that
people are interested in listening to.
While this is certainly worth discussion, it is neither applicable nor correct in the assessment of the current situation. To assume that the state of the music business is caused by either a lack of talent or a lack of development of talent by the record companies is just not true at all. In fact, to assume that there are no good writers around is not correct either.

To take it out of the music business, here's an example for you. The N.Y. Times was the first newspaper to publish on the Web for free, feeling that information should be free on the Web. Just about every newspaper followed their example, and just about every newspaper, including the N.Y. Times is now going belly-up.

Trust me - I get your point. I just don't agree with it at all.
