Not only has it destroyed the music business, but “it’s going to destroy the movie business” too. Obviously the aging rocker has a new album he’s pimping out (and headlines he’s trying to grab), but the atomic bomb? Really, Mellencamp? [Reuters]

Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 10:07 AMWhat’s he after now? Subsidies for musos’? Rather than acknowledge the music industry now has to compete with broad range of entertainment choices, their solution involves buying off politicians to protect their overpriced product. It is their greedy little extortion racket that’s really dying not music.

Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 10:57 AMHey John, you don’t sell anymore records because your music is shit, not because of the evil internet. Just like I might pay for maybe 2 movies a year because thats the amount of good ones released the rest I wouldn’t pay for.
Change your business model or STFU and loose money.

Boo-fucking-hoo.
