I was surprised - I tensed my shoulders for a bono-spray of the problems of the world. In fact what I found was a readable article with a little bit of humor, a little bit of lecturing, and a little bit of free thinking. I may even get an old U2 album back out.
I guess he gave up on Make Poverty History?
Hmm. Greatly improved choice, better access between artist and listener; one can only hope these things come to the movie and newspaper businesses.
"A decade’s worth of music file-sharing and swiping has made clear that the people it hurts are the creators — in this case, the young, fledgling songwriters who can’t live off ticket and T-shirt sales like the least sympathetic among us — and the people this reverse Robin Hooding benefits are rich service providers, whose swollen profits perfectly mirror the lost receipts of the music business."
Bono's a bit clueless here.
