This guy could really help fix the music industry he could be their Steve Jobs. They have been told the service side was key at a fair price because a customer signs on long term for over a decade now by customers.

The problem is the RIAA need rained in and funding cut…if they were so smart they would not have been suing people but leading the foundation of technology like Spotify. In all these years RIAA have ruined the music companies names so people look on them like some kind of parasite middle man – but that is not really the case. I have known people who work for them they work their ass off to bring music to you.

Copyright law is also broken and needs sorted out. It is currently just not working…so pointless in the current form. The copyright people need to give something to get something back it is not a one way street some of them seem to think it should be.

I have been crunching the numbers and the money spent on bt donations, seed boxes, VPN’s, cyber lockers, usenet, site subscriptions to name but a few costs of file sharing in 2012…shows people want to pay but the services are all wrong for them.

So if you believe this start lobbying the EMI board to make you CEO.

In the past year alone, I’ve bought something like 160 games on Steam, many of them from their huge summer sales. The funny thing is I already had cracked versions of a lot of these games, but I still bought them. Why ? Because Steam makes it too damned easy to do! No need to hunt down cracked updates, no virus risk, no ratios to worry about, and no multiplayer restrictions. I’m not too cheap to buy good products, I’m just opposed to the retail system.

Driving/bussing to a store, business hours, dealing with obnoxious staff, low inventory… why waste two hours of my life when I can take 30 seconds to buy it online and 15 minutes to download it right into my PC ? Heck, installing the same game from a DVD often takes longer!

With music and movies, it should be even easier since the items are cheaper and the files are smaller. iTunes makes it pretty easy, but being an Apple platform does alienate quite a lot of people, clients and publishers alike. The RIAA/MPAA need to fire their goddamned lawyers and replace them with a bunch of geeks and usability analysts.
