I've Got To Talk To Steve Jobs
Hey Mr. Jobs... those shiny music boxes your company created are driving recorded music into the hands of the people faster than the established music business can even imagine. I never benefitted from this "jukebox/radio" mindset of the last 60 years, so watching the "biz" unravel don't bother me much.
But Mr. Jobs... you're rich and powerful enough, so don't let your ego get the best of you. You and Mr. Woz have finally gotten even with those music guys for the debacle at the US Festival. You've kicked Doug Morris and Clive Davis's asses solidly.
But now let's think about the music. Is music one of those open source languages or not? Why does it seem like the French get this? And if you really believe music should be DRM-FREE, why don't you just do it?
Steve Jobs, you're the man who could FREE MUSIC NOW. Please don't disappoint history and culture just for a few more iPod sales. Or maybe you ain't much different than the carpetbaggers you've displaced.
