The supposedly evil cycle goes as follows:
Man Makes Music. Sells It. Makes an honest living. Man steals music. Price goes up to subsidise.
Instead however, we add the all important "Greed" word at every available oppotunity. The result, no one can sell a CD for £16.
The problem is that people want control. Control = Money. Microsoft have demonstrated this rather nicely, and for that matter Intel.
I'm actually faced with having to become a full time pirate myself.
With new copy protected CDs coming out that wont play on a computer, I shall have no choice but to download them as my computer IS my CD player.
It's a totally contrary and greedy where nobody will admit they can make more money by charging less and where they will continue to manipulate the individual.
I look forward to the day (and it's coming) when artists can set up shop on their own by their website to sell records. All it needs is the delopment of widely available medium that people would actually listen to music over. And P2P file sharing isn't it.
It needs a spark, at which point the record companies become, as I believe Frenchman once said, "fucked", cause people can set up before they get a deal, and then find they dont need a deal.
I long for the day.
already i forment rebellion! muhahahaha
