Media Corps are outlived!

Last night, German Television reported
on the boy band "Grup Tekkan". Although their songs were
reported as being of "limited" artistic value, 600,000
copies of one of one of their songs have been downloaded
from YouTube since March 2006 - 600,000 copies in six months, of a
song of "limited" quality! And all of this happened without
the band being aware their song even being on YouTube!
What this means is that it should not be a problem at all for
average musicians and better marketing and selling of their songs
themselves. Maybe they won't be able to make as much money this way
as they did formerly - with the help of the media corporations. But
as they would not need to finance media corporations big heads
anymore they might also be able to reduce their costs.
At the end of the day, the media corporations need to ask: "What
is our right to exist?" "What are we good for?" I
think they were well advised to ask and answer this question before
their artists do that. But these companies seem to be far away from
understanding what's going on: Instead they try to enslave their
customers via technologies similar to C.R.A.P.
- and proceed to waste their artists' money on technology which will
neither be accepted by their customers nor can it be guaranteed to do
what it is supposed to do. These companies seems to be more than
outlived.
