Try ...The so-called industry hasn't got a clue. Try explaining a business model to a senior exec at a record label that doesn't include the words 'compact disc sales in decline' or 'new business demands' or even the 'P' word. The facts are clear - downloading is happening, bands are having to earn more and more of their money on the road (and when they are on the road they ain't recording new material!)<br />Spotify (and others make sure that bands - and even the labels!) get some cash.<br />Record labels need to get real and find a business model that uses the potential of this ol' interwebbythingy and make sure the bands get paid. Issuing 're-issues'of CDs barely a few months old with 'bonus' tracks and DVD footage ain't gonna get thousands of us shelling out.<br />Having said that there is no greater pleasure than ripping the wrapping off a brand new CD, stuffing it in the sound system and relaxing reading the liner notes and lyrics...apart from the halcyon days of vinyl when albums had proper packaging :)Jonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686558394484639631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11783714.post-22663714110246366372009-08-05T04:48:48.506+01:002009-08-05T04:48:48.506+01:00I heartily agree, and have actually considered pay...I heartily agree, and have actually considered paying for the service, which is normally free, just to show my support for it. It's really remarkable and definately worth having around.<br /><br />Also the recent MAFIAA attacks on downloaders have convinced me into going legal. Theres a recent case where a guy got fined like a million bucks for 30 fucking songs. I mean...come on, thats enough to make ANYONE stop.Wrathynoreply@blogger.com
