MTV: 2007 Borked the Music Industry

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-the-poetry-and-love-industries dept.

Sockatume writes "MTV thinks 2007 was the year the music industry broke, and provides a hefty pile of examples to justify it. Unsurprisingly, most of them revolve around the collapse of CD sales and the rise of digital distribution (authorised and otherwise). Be advised that many of the examples are the continuations or repercussions of old favourites (RIAA suits, the Sony rootkit fiasco)."

  1. How to repair the Music "Industry", no joke... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Cease the sales of all music in any digital format whatsoever, no download, no CDs.

    Then release music only on analog records. That's right, good old fashioned vinyl as the only format. With the usage shrinkwrap license that allows the customer to be free to rip the vinyl to portable digital format for their own personal use only.
