It's hard to remember an industry with so little clue how to change with the times.  It's like they're trying to pretend this internet thing never happened and hope it will all just go away one day.

Really one of the biggest bone head moves in the digital age was the major music record labels thinking they could squash Napster/technology.  Instead of just buying up the service and working on making money off it they thought they would play the legal bs game and what happened?  Apple comes in and swoops in on digital sales.  Now they make more money on digital sales then the companies who actually put out the music.  It cracks me up.
