The State of the Music Industry


One reader of this blog laments:
Fans are demanding more and more, but they’re unwilling to pay for the actual product. How is a musician supposed to make a living if this continues? People don’t have any problem with stealing music, then they lament the current mediocrity of the music industry. Mediocrity that’s due to the fact that record companies are afraid to take chances on unproven stuff because the odds are they will lose big. I know there needs to be a new business model, but I feel like people will just find new ways to crack it and continue stealing. Thoughts?

It's silly to think that the relative suckiness of the current musical climate is attributable to internet music piracy. Music's suckiness exists independent of that particular paradigm.
