postheadericon Pete Townshend Calls iTunes A Digital Vampire; Talkin' 'Bout His Generation...

At 20, Pete Townshend The Who wrote the classic line "I hope I die before you grow old" in the context of the hymn Talkin bout my generation''

. As a fan of Townshend, I'm certainly glad to know that he died before the age ... but it seems rather ironic that now acts as the "old" once mocked. At an event earlier this week, said the Internet is the destruction of copyright, and said that iTunes is a 'digital vampire. " His complaint is not that you need a "great commission". Um. Okay Therefore, according to most reports, the Committee of iTunes in music is about $ 0.30 for every dollar. Although some say it is high, compare this amount with a

label

making on each sale, where artists are often perhaps 10 to 15% of royalties , tagged by taking the rest. What is more like a vampire?

He says that iTunes should employ people of A & R, but why is that companies from Apple? It's like saying you should have had Tower Records A & R for guiding the musicians a decade ago. Apparently, his complaint is that the musicians are allowed in iTunes, even if they suck. But it is a problem for filters and mentors to be treated, and the Internet seems to be the care of that. Is there the bad music in iTunes? Sure, but you can move that does not listen, and musicians can get advice from all sorts of people. He also talks about why Apple should provide 500 computers to the music they love. But ... Why? What is focusing only on some musicians are going to do? The power of the Internet is that it allows thousands of new musicians. Apple gave free computer for the musician who loves little misses the point of the democratization of the market. It will exclude all sorts of wonderful artists who specialize in public sector groups can enjoy.



He then goes on to complain that Apple does not release entire albums. Why work for Apple? He showed Spotify Pete or one of the many others out there these days?



course, I will listen because he speaks of the "vile" parts "of blogland" where people are "drunk or just crazy."


And, of course, goes into a little diatribe on file sharing. Beyond the Internet "the destruction of copyright," which is equivalent to someone downloads one of his songs for someone who comes to your house and steal your child's bike (interesting comparison) . Of course, as anyone who has thought about it for more than one second, you know, make a copy does not detract. Make comparisons with the theft of property, only you look like you're ... so ... We are not talking about our generation. Therefore, as a reply, I'll just "rape" in the words of Mr. Townshend:



People try to put us d-down (Talkin bout my generation'')

The fact that we have around (Talkin after my generation'') things that are terrible cc-cold (Talkin bout my generation'') I hope to die before
old (Talkin bout my generation'') This is my generation
