BPI Admits It Screwed Up Over Napster... But Why Should We Trust It Now?
,----[ Quote ]
| Except... that's not true at all. As a recent Harvard study showed, the
| amount of money going into the "music ecosystem" has grown -- tremendously.
| The only thing that's dropping is the sale of plastic discs.
|
| In the meantime, considering BPI and others were so incredibly wrong 10 years
| ago, and they're only willing to admit it now, why is it that they think
| everyone should trust them now -- and that those of us who were actually
| right 10 years ago should still be brushed off as wackos who just want stuff
| for free? Perhaps it's time to start actually listening to those who have
| been pointing out new ways to embrace what consumers want to do with music in
| order to make more money.
