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)."

    didn't real world kill the video star?

    MTV hasn't played music in well over a decade.

    If anyone killed the music industry, it's MTV.
