Music Industry Taking Itself Way Too Seriously
from the get-over-it-already dept
This Christmas was supposed to be the season of a whole new slew of portable MP3 devices that would be SDMI compliant. As usual, this process isn't moving as quickly as it could be. When will the RIAA and the rest of the industry get it? Bogging down the growth of this market with regulation is in no one's long term interests.
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
