Home Taping is Killing Music, by Dan Bull

Musician Dan Bull, whose letters to Lily Allen and Lord Mandelson both become huge hits on YouTube, has penned another ditty; this time about the music industry's consistent refusal to accept or adapt to new technology, from the gramophone to the jukebox to commercial radio to the internet. His song, and accompanying video courtesy of TalkTalk, focuses on the most famous campaign, the ill-judged 80s classic; Home Taping is Killing Music.

@TheGenuineChristian You do know that "In Soviet Russia..." is a meme, right? I'm not making a statement about Soviet Russia nor its people. I advise you to follow your religion and leave the judging to your invisible man in the sky.

@josephschwenker Oh wow, I was right about you being stupid.

@ChaosMew161 it's not as bad as how the major labels steal the content their clients produce, and how they prctically OWN their clients
