But seriously -- the "major label" model is going nowhere but down. Bands don't bother to produce more than one MAYBE two good songs on an album, and then the labels have the fucking balls to rape consumers on the price, adding very little value, versus an electronic distribution. THEN, like the dinosaurs they are, they fight any form of online distribution -- even iTunes and other legal licensing services!
Maybe there's a little pain right now, but the labels definitely aren't helping themselves by suing customers instead of offering licensing methods that make sense, fighting change rather than embracing alternative revenue streams, and shoving crap down our throat instead of cultivating quality collections of music.
I'm against stealing -- you should pay for what you use -- but I think the labels should wake up and smell the Internet.
