The Way the Music Died was slow suicide!

As i watched the Frontline special The Way the Music Died I found myself agreeing with many of its main points. The basic message that I got out of the program was that Conglomeration, and the whole notion of "I want lots of money now" has lead to the slow decline of the Music record industry. In the documetary it is said that corporate deadlines do not make for good art. Also it states that when you only care about a hit single and make the rest of the album crap then people will be less inclined to buy it. The Documantary is very relevent to why filesharing and digital downloading is so rampant.
This pregression, I believe, is why filesharing programs such as Napster in the early years spread like wildfire. Anyone including myself will say "why should i buy an entire album for just one good song?" The reason that I personally use fireshare programs is because i feel that my money should be spent else where. However, as stated in the Frontline special, people will buy good music. I will go out and buy a physical album of an artist that i know and love and trust. I am happy to go to the store and lay down my 15 bucks for quality art!
I am not the only one who feels this way, however. Jorge Rodriguez on Frontlines own discution board wrote "The Internet has become the Pearl Harbor of the music industry; unfortunately it has no H-bomb with which to retaliate and no enemy to blame."

There are others still that believe that there is no one but the music industy itself to blame for their current economic perdiciment. Tim Jonze posted "BPI, you are fighting a losing battle you deserve to lose. You have failed to shift your business model to adapt to new technology and modern trends and now you're paying for it."
