Music Industry must wake up.

January 31st, 2009

The sale of songs is a lost business model. The songs must be seen as publicity for mechandise and live shows where the real money is to be made. The problem of course is that the record companies and British Phonographic Industry may lose their raison d'etre. I feel for the BPI but the record compnaies who for years have skinned the very people they seek to hound, tough luck! The Internet will make it possible for bands to be famous without them and good riddance. No longer do we have to buy 1 song we like and 20 others we don't.
