The way I see your explanation, the problem is not Moby - but MTV. Say they
suddenly decide to label Duke Ellington as techno, and that's the only
techno they show in their programs, will it change anything to the quality
of Duke Ellington's music ? Should Duke Ellington be blamed because millions

moby can retire tomorrow from the royalties and licencing fees he recived
