The consumer matters little. Some conservatives want to protect every market, regardless of its worth. As far as I'm concerned the music market can collapse. Hi Mike,

I’m all for property rights, but the music industry wants to maintain their monopoly across all fronts. The consumer matters little. Some conservatives want to protect every market, regardless of its worth. As far as I’m concerned the music market can collapse.

I think the only format I haven't bought music on is the wax cylinder! And it's not just the public that has been ripped off. The music industry is not good for artists (except the very small number of superstars) most of whom rely on income from concerts and merchandise rather than sales of CDs. 'Poisoned music market' is right. Talent gets strangled at birth by record companies attempting to protect their chosen artists by tying up competing bands with worthless contracts and a few grand. Truth is, musicians don't need these corporations any more and the big boys are getting twitchy. A world without super-rich Sir Eltons? I can't wait. Spot on, Aaron.
