Well put. Lately I worry the most when Dems and Repubs find something that they can slam-dunk agree on.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted, because what you said is the absolute truth.

"In our haste to cast out the old guard, we tend to lose sight of the fact that the old guard still fills what appears to be a necessary purpose: the breaking-out of artists. I'm confident and hopeful that their crucial role in that purpose

I would actually counter that it's not the music industry that believes it's going the way of the dodo. I'm in the music industry. Have been for almost 15 years now and have never worried for one second about my career. I'm a musician th

I'm a consultant from NJ and just got back from Austin a couple days ago, meeting with all my clients who live there and pay me to live and work from here. Anyway, the Texan version of rude and self-centered is pretty quaint by my personal

"Starting off the conversation, Crunchfund Partner MG Siegler asked Mayer..." MG Siegler is also at Crunchfund? Is he still writing for TC? Does neither the SEC or the FCC have anything to say about "journalists" who publish on very widel

"Making a living out of making music is like making a living out of open source programming. If it does not pay enough, you have to either put more effort into it and make some sacrifices, or you have to play by some other mans notes/specs.

It seems to me that there is a major market opportunity in a co-operatively owned version of this sort of service, one that placed getting $ to the artist as it's highest goal. A more or less P2P exchange that let consumers stream/discover

If programming suddenly became worth $0.00029 per line of code written, would you still do it for a living?

It's not about that. It's about "Oooo, shiny new music toy that's included for free with Facebook. Awesome! Now I don't have to buy music ever again!" This inevitably erodes purchases from any other online outlet, which leads to less mon

I see what you're saying, and I agree. Those bubbles were not the systemic issue I'm specifically fired up about, though. Those are more like branches of the tree rather than the root. The root, to me, is corporate money and influence in

I'll throw two out there - 1. Campaign finance reform. Debate the details, but you can't debate that there should be some. 2. Vastly greater oversight/transparency, if not an outright ban of the current lobbying system.

Maybe I'm getting crazier and more radical in my old age, but I'd say that if the 1% can afford to buy/bend the system to their ends, then it most certainly can be systemic. The fact that I hear Obama's "$1B war chest" being trumpeted and t
