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.

It is much easier to complain than it is to change. What will emerge from the ashes are a new breed of music business executives, recording artists, songwriters and music produces/composers. Those who embrace the Internet and mobile technology are best poised to benefit when the music business returns in full force.
I agree but I also think that the infrastructure must collapse before the change can take place and the new pioneers will be able to control the environment.
