| 1. | I urge the music industry to withdraw the Napster and MP3.Com lawsuits. |
| 2. | Shutting down these companies will do nothing to stem the tide, and they alienate you from the music fans, whose patience must be wearing thin. |
| 3. | As the EMI exec in the LA Times piece did, sit down with your son or daughter, or a friend who uses Napster, and start grooving on the tunes. Enjoy music as you never have. Then think. |
| 4. | A lot of music industry execs say they got into music because they love it. Taken at face value, I urge you to love it again. Share the experience. You'll find lots of new business models. As Jimmy Iovine says in the LA Times piece, you have to get it right, quickly. We'll work with you, but first, take the hex off the companies who are helping to facilitate the revolution. (That's all they're doing.) |
