Schmidt Thu, 04 Oct 2007 22:06:39 +0000 http://davidernst.net/blog/2007/10/01/go-radiohead/#comment-8146 <p>As a lawyer for the music industry, I too think it's interesting where the industry may be headed. That's why I took this job -- talk about a sector in turmoil. And no one knows where it might land. Aside from the threat of getting laid off like so many tens of thousands of others (perhaps unlikely, thankfully, since they'll always need litigators like me) I think it's all very exciting. As for Radiohead, kudos to them. They have the kind of success that lets them be successful without a record deal (they've been contract-less since 2004) so they can do whatever they want with their music and still probably get paid. Thousands of up-and-comers won't be so lucky, sadly, as the "music wants to be free, dude" crowd continues wrecking the art they profess to love. As the industry contracts and takes fewer risks, those up-and-comers will never see the light of day.</p> As a lawyer for the music industry, I too think it’s interesting where the industry may be headed.

Sorry about the CamelCase, it flows easily off my programming fingers, and then I wasn’t sure if it was correct or not. Thanks for the correction! It’s corrected!
