Blogging Ottinger (tim)Halting forward progress in radio
It’s a good thing that these guys were not around when radio got its start. Or television. Or movies.
Well, I guess it is even worse than that. They want total control. Apparently playing their music out of order (disaggregating) is like stealing now, too. I can hear the ad now:
You wouldn’t steal a radio
You wouldn’t steal a car
Listening to music in unapproved order is stealing.
Think about it! But not too hard, because, like, it’s a vacuous argument.
It’s not about money. It’s not about mindshare. It’s about control.
