[Slowhand] HOLLYWOOD'S DIGITAL DAWDLING

[David Strahl]

Hi,
I worked for Sony back in the day. When Michael Jackson (not so  
credible) said Tommy Mottola was the devil. I simply replied "I know  
that". It was awful. Like working for Bob Guccione or at a sleezy  
topless joint. It's hard to be sympathetic to an industry that  
doesn't deserve it. Look, remember, "CD's don't skip." Albums  
disappear and then reappear 3 times the price. The original CD's were  
horrible compared to the next wave of them but did you get a voucher  
for buying the crappy ones? Unfortunately big business can't figure  
out a way of making a profit without exploitation. You and I are the  
ones trying to make an "honest" living.
