Saturday 26 May RNW - NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE NETHERLANDS IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
Owen 2 October 2009 - 2:45pm
So long as this is only for files their member hold copyright on, then they are free to set whatever licencing restrictions they wish. So long as they realise that I am free to not use their 'product'. They can be sure that none of their member will ever get promoted through any website I own, instead I'll promote people who do not belong to their organisation. Hopefully this move will help even more people give up on the 'Music Industry' crack. What has happened to the old-school music industry is a form of economic bubble collapse. They used to be able to charge 15+ euros for an album; but it was never actually -worth- that, it's just that they ruthlessly controlled the distribution and promotion channels and consumers did not have (or did not know about) alternatives. Information rich culture has changed this and the value of an album these days, is 15+cents. Or less. This is economics 101, If a commercial entity (such as BRIN, BUMA, RIAA, MPAA, etc etc ad nauseum) charges more money then their product is actually worth, then they will go bankrupt.
