The music industry at large is not meeting the demand and is ignoring what the audience wants. I think Itunes is merely a fad and a bandwagon for "popular" music. The music is not popular it is force fed.

If you bought a Metallica Album lately and think thats metal thats fine but there are a shit ton of way better metal bands these days and many of them are using independent means to reach thier audiences.

The music industry for years now has attempted to stem and bottle neck independent music and each year independent artists gain ground on the internet.

DRM wasnt the problem, Digital distribution wasnt the problem. Sure the Larger music labels cried about losing money on the internet to piracy and yeah they did lose to piracy but they also failed to meet the audiences appetite for the different genre's of music.

Just from my own music tastes I listen to things hardly anyone has ever heard of infact its a style of music called Down Tempo, artists like Spore, Giocomo Bondi, Air, Kaskade and many others most probably never heard of. It's a great form of music and relaxing yer totally ignored by the music industry at large.

Anyways just saying when a service or evenb a band offers the audience what they are looking for and the style they want... The audiences will indeed pay the price.

Piracy can be slowed but never will it be halted but more than those two things most business in adult and music for that matter just miss thier audiences by a very wide margin by not providing what thier audiences expect and want.
