Rolling Stone's article "Don't blame CD sales woes on the Internet" succinctly points out what I've been saying for a while now. Yeah, people are downloading music from the Internet. And maybe they are still buying CDs, maybe not. The fact that the industry is so shortsighted about all of this and is trying to stop file-sharing at all costs shows that they are unwilling to use technology to their advantage. Many people (myself included) would pay a small, fair fee to get quality downloads from the Internet. However, none of the attempts that I've seen has come up with a way to do this that allows me to manage the resulting download in an equitable way. Until record executives work with the Internet community rather than against it, the mere fact that "we're fighting the Man" will be enough rebellious incentive to continue thumbing our noses at their authoritarian actions and lame attempts of conciliation.
