Home Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Here is where we disagree:

Your statement "[T]he core of the problem is that people think they shouldn't have to pay for music" just isn't so. People pay plenty for their music, and I'm not talking about Spotify. They pay Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, Apple and Microsoft, among others. Those companies have taken away the inept recording industry's business and are making billions by selling music without compensating musicians at all.

I saw an iPhone TV commercial not long ago that made no mention of telephone service, texting or web browsing. The sole subject of the commercial was music, and the message was music = iPhone.

iPhone users pay stiff monthly fees, and they don't want to pay additional usage fees, they want unlimited service, or as near to it as possible. They want unlimited calling, unlimited texting, and unlimited data. It shouldn't surprise you that they expect unlimited music too.

These companies are playing you for a sucker, convincing you to blame their customers, who are shoveling tons of money at them for your music.
