"This is the music industry forgetting that they live entirely off
discretionary income. That’s the stuff spare after rent and food and
medicine. When times are tough, attitudes are hard, and people stop
spending."
[...]
"The problems are vast, society-wide and fundamentally political. If the
record companies really want the good times back, they need to be
pushing for social spending, redistribution of the wealth and support
systems people can trust in. Then the listeners will have cash to water
the music they love, and artists will have a new paying audience and at
the very least a safety net they can get by on while pursuing more
rewarding endeavours."
Hear hear.
