I'm sure everyone remembers Steve's essay on "The Problem With Music": http://www.negativland.com/albini.html The somewhat recent re-focusing on the dying Dinosaur sounds very similar to the big conversation and controversy that went on back in 1999/2000. Back then, there was a lot of false hope about change, followed by disappointment when tech companies decided to just "work" (read: "sleep") with the then "Big 5". Things these days seem much more real in terms of the 'end of the Industry' as it exists now. The transformation of the web and a new generation of somewhat "informed" web-savvy users/music lovers has really opened up the possibility for things to change. Nevertheless, if the entire model for the industry were to change tomorrow there would be a large catalog of music up through now that would still be tied up in copyright law and held hostage by the likes of the RIAA. Maybe aim should again be taken at the good old RIAA, all of the cronies associated with them and the current state copyright law, not to mention DRM and it's co-conspirators....no, wait - that's crazy talk... ...yeah...I'll lay off the coffee for the rest of the day :) [This might drift slightly off topic]
