The BBC are running an article about “A war is being fought between record company bosses and computer users for the future of music.”
As compact disc sales slide, previously bland industry events have started to provide pulpits for industry figures to launch increasingly strident attacks on the websites that could soon deprive them of a livelihood.
The latest figures from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) point to a 7% decline in CD shipments to record stores – which they say closely matches sales – and polls of computer-using music fans to decide that the internet is killing music. ”
That’s strange how the slide also coincides with an economic slump but still its piracy that’s blamed. Well I say keep blaming piracy because franking most people don’t give a damn and won’t stop bypassing physical distribution for free no matter what the RIAA do. Music is an art not a business.
