so for some reason my family seems to subscribe to rolling stone. i was reading a piece on the "zune fiasco" and ran across this assertion: that universal's catalogue represents about one third of all recorded music. now this is a puzzling and ambiguous assertion: it cannot mean to include every kid working with garage band on their mac. it cannot even mean commercially-issued cds or stuff available on websites. it could mean, for example, a third of all cd or download sales. but whatever it means, it represents an intolerable situation, and these people should be smashed, annihilated. the  best way to accomplish this, short of anti-trust litigation, is piracy and the destruction of copyright. we've got to get some of the money out of this industry, or simply concede music to the philistines and move on to painting or something.
