Has anyone thought about how this decision could symbolize a landmark in the evolution of music?
Is it possible that the music industry has become so inane with its profit obsession and the zero-talent "artists" they tout, that the karma in the universe will destroy the corporate music industry with this ruling--and set everything right?
Indie music is on the rise--and it isn't just because of the Garden State soundtrack. Society's relation to music has been slowly shifting, so that it is now ready to demand quality music--the kind made by independent artists who won't care whether their tracks are shared on the internet. This is the music that will be available online, and will come to dominate the music scene if listeners view the ruling as the last acceptable assualt by the corporate music industry. There is an underlying tiredness for listeners who must accept Kelly Clarkson and the rest of the American Idols as "good music."
This ruling could could usher in a new era in music. Where music is actually good.
