I am one of those poor musical types who worked for years to make a buck on some (at least we believed) pretty hot material and playing. Starved, got nowhere, a pile of no responses and rejections from the bleeding industry... Things could change. Maybe musical acts need to set themselves up like members only porn sites to get any cash, but as far as any sympathy for the industry...well, it's a rightous pain to copy a vinyl record onto digital... why don't the Majors go back to new releases only on vinyl?
The fear of recording made disc jockeys learn to talk over the intro until the vocal started, then cut the ending short. This made a big difference when songs were 2:30 long. They are attempting to find the equivalent ploy now...like not having any new music worth recording...
