with all the music industry v. download threads flooding about these days, i thought some folks might be interested in a slightly different perspective on the biz. i've actually known folks who have experienced (almost) this exact problem. for those who don't know who Steve Albini is, do a search. he was in an influential "punk" band in the 80's called Big Black. i can't cut-n-paste because of some naughty language. enjoy. http://www.negativland.com/albini.html it's really no wonder that the industry is falling apart at the seams. do-it-yourself and downloading must be scary...
Great article. The record companies deserve to get screwed by DIY and downloading. It pays them back for the years of screwing they did themselves.
