The big labels don't feel like changing, not that they cannot change. They are a bunch of human beings at all.
Aren't human beings flexible enough to thrive anywhere on earth?
Yet, some humans choose to die rather than adapt.
The labels don't want to deal with the changing business. So they rather die.
- ethank 16y agoAgain, have you ever visited or spoken to anyone at a label? Next time you are in SoCal, email me. I'm serious. :)
- chris11 16y agoI'm not sure if you can answer this or not, but in your opinion what would it take to get some type of voluntary licensing going for music? I personally would rather pay a monthly fee than pay for each individual song or cd. I also want the ability to do what I want with the music. I don't want to have to work to get music on an mp3 player or worry about whether I'm going to randomly lose access to songs in library, which has happened with Ruckus.
- ethank 16y agoIn my opinion (its not in my purview), it'll take government help. Take that for what you will.
- taylorlb 16y agoIt's not so much that they don't want to "deal" with the changing business, it's that there aren't proper incentives in place for the people who run the companies. Chances are, if you run a major music rights company, you get paid a large sum of money and the financial incentives are structured in such a way that it's in your best interest to simply keep the ship sailing rather than make any drastic changes. Why take risks when you can keep getting your 7 figure check? If you tried to stop the bleeding all at once, you'd most likely be shown the door.
