It is also worth highlighting that the Societies involved in
protecting the rights of music producers have also lagged well behind
the technical innovations which have subsequently opened up new areas
of distribution... both legal and illegal. Their methods for trying to
defend the rights have actually alienated the public, as well as some
of those same serious investors.
I am sure that PACT and the BBC could learn much from the recent
experience of the physical music business. Whilst arguing for detail,
they lost the battle.
Sadly, as the whole model has been distorted by industry self
interest, the golden goose, along with the bolting horse, have
disappeared anyway, over the horizon to pastures new. :-)

the daft thing is, much of it’s been so depressingly predictable from
very early on. so much of it’s been avoidable.
