I can only hope that record labels continue to be squeezed as artists find better ways to get their music out to the world.

The music industry should shut the fuck up sometimes. Like people turn on their console to listen to the music through Guitar Hero or Rock Band. No...they do, in fact, go online or go to a record store (if they can find one) and buy the music they like. Music based games are basically a huge advertisement for music, and the music industry gets paid...to have their songs advertised. Go Kotick! Don't put any Warner Music on the next Guitar Hero. I'll be right behind you! While I’m not a huge fan of Activision-Blizzard, Kotick is absolutely right. The music industry should shut the fuck up sometimes.
