Steve Albini: The Music Industry Is a Parasite -- and Copyright Is Dead

Posted by timothy on from the but-how's-the-marrow? dept.

journovampire sends word of another thought-provoking rant from Steve Albini (mentioned here last a few years back for his paean to the beauty of analog tape for recording): The veteran producer addressed an audience in Barcelona on Saturday: "The old copyright model – the person who creates something owns it and anyone else that wants to use it or see it has to pay them – has expired."

    If that's your opinion of Steve Albini and what he's saying about the Music Industry and Copyright, I have no choice but to agree with you.
