I didn't take it as criticism and we are in agreement about most of that. I think what the Berlin Philharmonic is doing is great, I find the Thom Yorke thing less exciting/promising, but I'd it works for him then great and no harm done (as opposed to the record they gave away).
"The only area where we disagree is in your characterization of file sharing as "unpaid usage".
Yes we disagree because what I'm talking about is payment to the creators/owners of course. I'm not concerned about the mechanism by which it happens, but when it doesn't cost anyone any more money to listen to 100 albums/songs than to listen to none, and therefore no money is going to musicians, that's a problem. I doubt we actually disagree on that point, however.
