Making music has gotten easier; selling it has gotten harder. Making music has been democratized, but the market is in the hands of fascists.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.
I think in certain areas the demand is greater than it has ever been, and my business is better than it's been in 30 years. The music business is so precarious, as you know-you've got to make it while you can make it, and that's exactly what we're doing.
The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.
The music industry is transforming fairly rapidly.
It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.
Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most.
The business has changed so much that they're able - we're able these days in the music industry to be able to control our own destiny.
With Napster and the sharing of music, of course, there are going to be people who exploit it. Greed has no end. But there's a lot of good that could happen. We shouldn't let the economic concerns of the major labels infringe on our freedom to share music.
Music shouldn't be based around money or politics. Music should be a bunch of people that really do great songs together doing them together for the pursuit of having a good time.
I don't even know what words to use to talk about the music industry anymore. But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music.
