| Red Herring for sale!  The last time the copyright control agencies had to admit that the reason for a reduction in sales is, that ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID was early in 1970. They music labels enemy number one was a company named Advent, that developed a version of the Philips Cassette Recorder capable of recording music with reasonable fidelity. Within a year or two other companies began to manufacture cassette recorders capable of recording high quality audio. That was when the ranting and raving started with the music labels claiming that home taping was destroying the music industry. What the music labels forgot to consider was the fact that the music they were producing was crap. When the music industry began measuring the quality of music by loudness level rather than skill of the musicians it was unlikely that home recording had effect on sales. The music industry screwed themselves, when the quality of their product could be recorded on a low quality recording technology like low resolution MP3 and not suffer. The Super Audio Compact Disc has gone no where and you almost never hear that an orchestra like the Boston POPS have recorded any recent popular music. This bologna about piracy is just an excuse for the music labels lousy music. |
