Digital Music: Still Scores Left To Settle
from the missing-the-earth-moving-beneath-them dept
While the entire economics of the music industry are shifting beneath them, song writers are arguing with the music labels over how much of a cut they should get for songs that show up on "legitimate" file sharing services like MusicNet and PressPlay. I wonder why they are even bothering. It's like arguing over who gets to keep the artwork while the museum burns down. There are much more important issues that they should be focused on.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
