There is no way to compete with free, and the proof is that no one has been able to figure out how to do so in the last decade - and there's been plenty of incentive in the form of boatloads of money waiting for whoever could put it together.
Yet, Mr. Platitudes continues with the straw man argument that the majors need to find a solution to music piracy that accommodates the pirates.
Lefsetz's allegiance is obviously with the tech crowd as he is clearly a spokesperson for their goals with regard to IP content - a shill for the geeks.
Have a look at this recent statement from his blog regarding ISP filtering:
DO NOT FOLLOW PAUL MCGUINNESS! DO NOT WASTE ANOTHER DECADE IN A FUTILE ATTEMPT TO GO BACK TO THE NINETIES! ACCEPT REALITY AND DEAL WITH IT!This is a guy that appears quite desperate here.
(Lefsetz also goes out of his way to unnecessarily trash U2 and McGuinness; as well, he again resorts to utilizing hackneyed pro-piracy rhetoric throughout the post. Talk about going back to the nineties - he himself should accept "reality" and knock off this aged and condescending populism.)
Lefsetz - now clearly - is not only anti-label, but anti-artist and anti-music.
