Writing on the MTV website, Gideon Yago comments on the USA tape industry’s remarkable laid upwardly on on private consumers past times suing thousands of file-sharers for $150,000 per song, per difficult drive, per download. He writes:
“While the major labels too their lobby, the RIAA, proceed to core millions of dollars into a legal movement aimed at seeing 16-year-olds inwards handcuffs, in that location is an easy, low-cost solution to their fiscal woes, 1 that doesn't involve alienating a generation of loyal buyers. Stop making albums. They cost also much too they aren't worth the cost tag”.
Yago describes albums every bit a bloated, outdated, overused, unnecessary idea. Thanks to the fast-forward buttons, today's listeners decease cruising from rails to rails inwards search of a sucker cut. Consumers are hesitant most spending $16.99 addition taxation for an entire tape that powerfulness plow out to hold upwardly utterly disposable. Yago complains that, to recoup the coin invested inwards marketing big hits, tape labels tack on a dozen filler tracks that nobody wants to hear too sells it every bit an album. But, he asks, what if the tape labels gave less too charged less? If the tape manufacture tightened its product, offered greater diverseness too focused its album efforts on music compilations, it powerfulness hold upwardly able to displace into out of the trace of piece of employment concern globe alive.
comments: “Yago’s proposition is superficially attractive. How many of us convey bought the whole album too institute the star tracks outnumbered past times the dumb ones? But the proposition may hold upwardly also little, also late. Too many victims of album abuse convey straight off larn practised downloaders too volition non easily surrender the habit”.
