Record companies continue their battle against progress

by

Sometimes the idiocy of the recording industry boggles the mind. Here they are, with a service (the iTunes MUsic Store) people clearly want to use and aren’t shy about spending money on, and they go and stop downloads in order to increase CD sales. Because when faced with a need for a new business model, the thing to do is hide under a big pile of coats and hope everything works out. Bravo, recording industry, bravo.
