"We were astounded at the entitlement that people felt to get their music for free."
Cary Sherman, talking with Vice about RIAA’s work in the past decade. Good read.
The amount of entitlement on the web is pretty impressive, perhaps this is because it’s unnatural to imagine real people on the other end. The Hype Machine gets tons of complaints because you can’t download, or organize music into playlists for easy [free] subsequent listening. Each time we get one, I wonder if we are missing out on some future where all music is limitless and free, but something tells me it will be a bit more complicated than that.
