demonbaby: When Pigs Fly: The Death of Oink, the Birth of Dissent, and a Brief History of Record Industry Suicide.

  • ' ... something even better will rise out of Oink's ashes, and the RIAA will
    respond with more lawsuits, and the cycle will repeat itself over and
    over until the industry has finally bled itself to death. And then
    everything will be able to change, and it will be in the hands of
    musicians and fans and a new generation of entrepreneurs to decide how
    the new record business is going to work. Whether you agree
    with it or not, it's fact. It's inevitable - because the determination
    of fans to share music is much, much stronger than the determination of
    corporations to stop it.'     - yamje1 on 2007-10-28
  • Already is the key word, because it didn't have to be this way, and that's become the main source of my utter lack of sympathy for the dying record industry: They had a chance to move forward, to evolve with technology and address the changing needs of consumers - and they didn't. Instead, they panicked - they showed their hand as power-hungry dinosaurs, and they started to demonize their own customers, the people whose love of music had given them massive profits for decades.
  • he pirating community continues to out-smart and out-innovate the dated methods of the record companies, and CD sales continue to plummet while exchange of digital music on the internet continues to skyrocket. Why? Because freely-available music in large quantities is the new cultural norm, and the industry has given consumers no fair alternative.
