Baton Rouge, LA | Well... I applaud the music industry for FINALLY starting to do some forward thinking but, given how the music industry has been acting up to this point, I am not entirely convinced that they are trustworthy enough or smart enough to implement something like this.
When you take into account how badly they have treated the consumer and all of the artists that create the product they sell, I have to say I just don't trust them to implement this in a way that doesn't %100 percent work in their favor with no regard for consumer/artists rights or interests.
It would literally be a windfall of billions of dollars in GUARANTEED PROFIT for them, what motivation would they have to treat the customers and artists fairly? This plan doesn't address the major problem in all of this - the RIAA's unwillingness to think outside of the box and adopt new business models or come up with new ideas. And it certainly does not address the RIAA's inability to let go of their old and dying business model of the past that no longer has a place in the digital age of music. |
