El Music Industry

I thought this article really hit the nail on the head.

I think it amazing how short sighted the music industry was. I'm also in agreement with a lot of critics that Radiohead's suspicious absence at the Grammy's was the RIAA last ditch attempt to say they disapprove of downloadable content. If an industry can't evolve, it will die.
