Once again the music industry is blaming everyone else

U2 manager slams Internet providers – Entertainment News, International News, Media – Variety

This sounds like the same old song and dance from the music industry executives. Place the blame for the failing music industry on anyone rather than looking for ways to change. This is typical industry rhetoric – “you all need to pay us more because you are benefitting from the music we control.” This rhetoric is tired and will never succeed, incremental increases in “use” fees will not save the music industry. Change is the only thing that will truely save the music industry.
