Music Magnates Mourn Minidisc Monstrosity

Jimmy Weasel - Monday, March 17, 2003 - 15:29:19 - print it raw

The music industry (names withheld for no real reason(ignorance suspected)) has expressed negativity and harsh vibes about new recording systems that allow up to 100 hours of music on a single disc.

The launches come as the global music industry suffers its worst downturn since the CD format was introduced. Free online downloading and disc copying have been widely blamed for the slump in sales.(New Scientist)

Piracy has long been blamed for bad sales, but it's high time the record companies stopped mistaking content with filler and treated the customer with dignity.

It's rumoured that Sony Music is none too thrilled that Sony Electronics be providing the medium for piracy; but eggs must be broken in order to make golden omlettes and bad analogies.

In other news:WATCH OUT FOR DENGUE FEVER.

That is all.

Articles and all that more wordy stuff

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park: Monstrously, and seemingly neverending, sitting under the home ground of Colonel Sanders, the world's largest cave system. Yucatan comes nowhere close. Not even Cocklebiddy poses a threat. No comparison. Small holes looking up at a big fat long one. Sadly, with possible age and lack of food, no minotaurs to be found within the lime walls.
Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery: If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.
Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops: It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...
