Blogging Ottinger (tim)Switchfoot v. Buttheads
It’s a shame when the music industry is so much more interestested in stupid and self-defeating control-of-customer policies than with the desires of the fans and the artists. I thought that the industry originally existed to provide a conduit between artists and fans, but it is human for things to become about income and control. It’s a shame.
At least I know that Switchfoot is in touch with the fans, even if their label is not.
A hint to sony: customers are not clamoring for you. We want access to your artists and their music. You are now an obstacle. Get ready, because the market always finds ways around its obstacles. You can get with us, or get ready to lose us.
