Hmm.. The other day I found a set of keys to a persons Lamborghini. He never uses it - it just sits there in his garage. so I stole it. Which is OK since he never uses it. I wouldn't usually steal things, but since I foudn the keys.. that makes it OK.
That's the logic you are using. Think about it. |
Actually thats completely different. The argument he is making is "lets let the people testdrive the car because if they never see it they will never buy it anyway" Record companies are simply refusing to adapt to a changing business structure. Industry's grow old and collapse. Its the nature of capitalism. If the record companies time has come, they should simply die or adapt rather than trying to hide behind all there money and lawyers. Let the bands make there music, let us hear it for free, than go to the shows, buy the shirts and cds and posters, and have that money go right to the artists who deserve it. Not to the corporate gatekeepers who the artists must presently pass through to allow themselves to be heard.
