Sony Starting Yet Another Music Download Store
from the this-sounds-familiar dept
Sony Music announced today that they're going to start their own music download store spouting off all the usual incorrect and misleading claims about just how much money they've lost to file sharing services. That's funny. I thought Sony used to have their own music store called PressPlay that convinced almost no one it was worth signing up for. Eventually, of course, to hide the fact that it had next to no subscribers, they simply "sold" PressPlay off to Roxio to become part of the "new" Napster. So now they're going to just start it up again? Speaking of the "new" Napster, more people are beginning to realize that it appears to be lacking everything that made Napster worth using. The music industry still doesn't seem to understand that there's a difference between music downloading and music sharing.

Imagine ... people wanting to pay a reasonable price for the songs they actually want ... The music industry sure is groovy !
Maybe one of these days they might even work out a distribution method that passes most of the work and cost onto the consumer much like P2P file sharing networks do now ...
Gee Whiz ... what will the geniuses @ RIAA do next ?

Uh, Mike, I think that should be "no".
(I'll spare the "Automated English Grader" remark, because I know I can find 200 times where I've made the same mistakes.)
