Comments on: The recording industry will change http://www.megaspora.net/en/2007/04/02/the-recording-industry-will-change/ Politics and economy commentary from Spain and the world.

One additional aspect to remark about the obsolete and corrupt business model of the music industry is that they has been acting as judges of what was and what was not "allowed" to become commercial products. At that time recording studios were rare facilities that only very large recording companies could afford to pay. Promotion was also extremely expensive and reserved for a closed club. In other words, if you wanted to offer your music to the world you had no chance but accepting their rules. Therefore, the music industry had the power to decide, administer and "create" trends in order to best fit their economic interests. It is funny that these people say that whoever is against them is against art and the artists. It's more like the opposite because these people have become rich by stealing a good part of the revenue from the artists! Good news, today the economy of scale has made recording facilities available to the average citizen, and Internet has opened alternative ways to promote and to make music available to consumers (do you know the "Koala"?). So, yes! this is the beginning of the end for them, especially because of their stubborn intents of maintaining the status-quo. Therefore, get your glasses ready! Here's for their disappearance! Enjoy! I fully agree. One additional aspect to remark about the obsolete and corrupt business model of the music industry
