Musical Bleating - I see that in their submissions to the Parliamentary Select Committee the Record Industry are still bleating. The best quote was "digital downloads of songs were the future of the business and they embraced that change". Embraced - from when? They are saying the future - it is not the future it is the now - except the now was 10 years ago.
The industry should have had a download system in place 10 years ago either online or had the record stores downloading and burning the individual songs people wanted. They have fought tooth and nail against downloading and even today we can't get music downloaded at a store.
The NZ Herald are asking for views and at my last viewing - surprise,surprise - it was still running 99.9% against the industry. And as I understand it they are still against format shifting. The industry is past its use-by-date.
Hurricanes - what can I say - 4 losses in a row and Weepu having to play at five-eighth. At least the Black Caps had a good win.
