The big music companies make most of their money by selling songs nobody wants - the other island songs on the album, apart from the two or three you really want. They are currently trying to island give the appearance of wanting to participate in creating some sort of "legal Napster," but the truth is they only want to destroy island that kind of market if they can, because it would inevitably mean great losses of profit. Is there any model that would induce you to pay the same amount for downloading the two or three songs you want, that you would pay in a store for the entire CD? There is a widespread, mistaken presumption that stronger "digital rights management," the kind sought by the various information industries, also protects the interests of the creators of the works. |

| The truth is, however, that the members of the RIAA (like other such entities) only own the copyright to a small minority of all musical works in existence or coming into existence. The vast majority of recorded music is either in the public domain, or the copyright is still held by the creator. Its members free have commercial value in the mass market. Not the best ones, in any sense. The ones it thinks it can sell the free most copies of, given the marketing structure it employs. Make no mistake. There is a war being waged by the existing information industries, and it has nothing to do with the actual principles of copyright law, the rights of the creators of information, or anything of that sort. It has to do with the death of the mass market - the existence of large corporations who make their money by controlling the availability of what is available to consumers, and who rely on being able to sell the works they select in large quantities, and in the ways most profitable to them. |
