Teenage Music Purchases - Chuck Klosterman - Esquire
Chuck is right on about the state of the music industry. A good short read that I recommend and can’t attribute to the right person on tumblr (I went through 23 pages and couldn’t find it again).
I read this last night and I completely agree. Anyone who downloads music for free doesn’t have any ill intent. They aren’t “criminals,” nor should they be treated as such. Downloading is almost unconscious at this point. Imagine being a teenager today where free music is available instantly at the point and click of a mouse. Why would you pay for it? These are things the music industry must address.
