| Have you looked at the latest reports... From the record companies? Their profits are down, way down. Frankly, they have gone beyond protecting their product and now have identified "The War on P2P" as a revenue stream.
Why?
Because the people in power at the record companies are incompetant, terminally taken with themselves and their personal sense of their god-like wonderfulness and, quite frankly, their marketing model, of which MTV is the lynchpin, just ain't cutting the ice no mo'(MTV clearly states that they are not about music. They sell "lifestyle", whatever that is). Top that with an increasing sense that the music industry is kinda like the Capone Family these days, and you got problems.
Add it all up and you got "Loosers". Which makes sense because the numbers clearly show their business model and the music they are releasing is losing. Big Time. So they are resorting to legal harassment and borderline barratry. |
