More Insanity from the Recording Industry

Wed, 06/25/2008 - 00:23 — the1silverwolf

From Techdirt:

It would appear that the recording industry now likes to call any sort of business model it doesn't like "piracy." At least that's the only explanation I can come up with in its latest battle, where it has referred to traditional radio as "a form of piracy." It's almost too bizarre to be true, and that's before we even explain how this involves a (literal) can of herring.

I still just don't understand this kind of thinking.  The recording industry wouldn't even exist if it were not for Radio making it's artists popular.  In fact the status-quo in the past 50 years is for the Record Labels to pay radio stations to play their artists more often in order to make more money selling CD's.

Once again the Record Industry seems to be doing everything in it's power to kill itself...
