Hey Dukkookin - Paul Mcguinness is absolutely wrong on this. Whether you like Radiohead or you think U2 is influential has nothing to do with the matter at heart here; people, ideas, organizations or corporations, etc., etc. that DON'T MOVE AHEAD WITH THE TIMES ARE DOOMED TO DIE. The public is going to download "Illegally" unless a better option comes up. NO ONE can stop that. remember dubbing tapes of lp's back in the 80's? it's THE SAME THING..only technology these days facilitates that on a MUCH larger scale. You cannot move backwards. It's done. Someone will come up with a new business model, but for now it's all about selling LESS of MORE...do you get it? And lastly: please don't forget that music existed WAY BEFORE there was a music industry...

TheJeanGenie nailed it right on the head; Paul Mcguinness has been doing the rounds at all the music conferences extolling the virtues of the music industry of yesteryear as opposed to the evil, perverted and thieving public at large who "steals" music these days. Hey Mr. Mcguinness: GET A FUCKIN' CLUE! IT'S OVER!!! THE END!!! FINI!! SFARSIT!!! EL FIN!!! DIE ENDE!!! 終了!!! FIM!!! конец!!! Are you getting the message yet? it's tme to come up with NEW IDEAS!! There are still ways to rip people off!! Come on man...I have faith in you. An old dog CAN learn new tricks!!
