[Phil^]

one of the last flailing grasps of a content industry that has lost its way.
The middlemen are no longer required, the artist can go direct ( like radiohead has done, and well played to them ) - yet they persist in clawing away at the walls in order to maintain their stranglehold position
Its like what leia said to tarkin - the tighter you close your grasp - the more systems will slip through your fingers
