The State of the Music Industry

R
ecently I was asked to write 100 words about the state of the music industry. Not as long-winded and waffle-y as my usual posts, but here it is:

"There is a shocking contrast between the Music industry and Music itself. Music consists of the artists, the free thinkers, the boundary pushers. The Music Industry seems to be a group of angry old men, unable to adjust to the new mediums of our generation. Instead of embracing how we now listen to music, they wish to control it with DRM and frivolous lawsuits to flash their wallets. How foolish to think they can change a still rebellious group. Why not embrace the internet as what it is: the most powerful advertising outlet in history. When will they learn!!"
