The recording industry in this

The recording industry in this country makes tons of money selling crappy music to people by telling them they need to listen to it. With online music, you can pretty much listen to whatever you want, when you want. When people don't have to listen to crap anymore, do you think they will anyway? Maybe that's why the recording industry is scrambling to get control over online music distribution....just imagine how much effort and money would be involved if they actually had to start producing good music.
