From Now Magazine: Disc biz’s big lie. Hardly an unbiased look — Now is a free paper that is heavily read by the indie, the left and the student in Toronto — but they’re hardly alone in saying it.

“The industry has been opposing new technology since the day of the player piano. Every new technology, from the phonograph to the radio and the tape recorder, is the end of the world, and they oppose it, litigate against it and try to get legislation against it.
