Deadly Space

Since Dead Space 2 comes out next week, I’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the song I did for Rhyme Torrents 8, “Deadly Space”, inspired by the first game and Dead Space: Downfall.

Please to be enjoying

Adjust your model

without comments

 

So anyone who knows me knows I’m all into the arguments against what the RIAA/Record Labels are doing, and have followed many a Techdirt post about it.  Recently, I was catching up on some heavy metal news, and found an interesting remark from Michael Amott of Arch Enemy/Carcass regarding album sales.

“Now the majority of fans rather download albums for free, now you can go see how many downloads there are for The Root Of All Evil. It’s a lot more than what the Soundscan figures are for CD sales. That’s just the reality of it, I’m not one of these guys who’s going to sit around being bitter about it. It’s like "Ok, this is the situation", so you just change your business model a little bit. But you know, new music is very important to me and we’re still writing new music. As I said, last night I wrote a new song.” 

The full interview can be found here.

Now this is a fine example of a guy who GETS IT.  People WILL download, there is nothing you can do about, except adjust your business model and move on with life.  The last sentence I believe really strikes home against the core argument that the Labels like to make, that when there is piracy that people will not make music as they have no incentive.

The incentive to make music is this: MUSICIANS MAKE MUSIC.  Its what they do, its in the blood.  Piracy or not, musicians will make music, and they will want it to be heard by as many people as possible.  Any musician who says otherwise has forgotten why they began making music in the first place.
