So sales are down and everyone is to blame but the industry, so say. Unless you are the thickest turd in a sewer, like Mitch is, you'd notice music creation is better than ever... It's just not all THEIR music... Although they are robbing anyone, including us, with SoundExchange or whatever the fuck it is.
Woof	Date: May 23, 2007 @ 7:31 PM Anybody who knows anything about marketing, knows that the thing to do when sales are down, is to roll up your sleeves and get creative. For the most part, this isn't being done in the industry. Too much time is spent suing people and looking for ways to explain poor performance. God forbid the lack of growth over the last decade would be due to poor judgment on the part of the executives as to who they sign, and how much room they give signed artists to grow once they're onboard. It can't be that... or can it?

Exactly what I thought! Sorry Chris, I didn't even visit the link. Someone posted a thread about this elsewhere, so I just copied the URL. I'm not registered either. I always hate it when people post links to stories at sites where you have to be registered to read them. I most humbly apologize.
vzeye	Date: May 30, 2007 @ 6:45 AM They should deregulate the radio industry, break up Clear Channel, and let the people take back the airwaves which were public property in the first place. The declining music industry we are talking about is the private ownership of the public forum. Kick those guys out and let everyone else have a piece of the pie. If radio ownership were on a local level, more local bands could get much needed exposure and then even a chance for national exposure. Return the radio spectrum to the people who own it in the first place - US. Each one of us owns that spectrum which the giant corporations have stolen from us!
