Yet again the major labels live up their credo – BIG BUCKS NOW – we need to get paid, paid, paid, even when it looks extremely uncertain that consumers are willing to pay. Ergo – 95%+ of the music is downloaded illegally. What the labels need to work may not be so much finding out what modelös will work – they need to work on the infrastructure around compensations. Set that up in the right way, and leave the rest to the market and the entrepreneurs, and the money WILL come. Infrastrucuture you say, what IS the man talking about? Shoot me a mail and I'll be happy to elaborate…
