The record labels have forgotten what their purpose in this world is. They became a business because the production and distribution of media was too expensive for individuals to undertake. The labels could pool their resources and provide the service of manufacturing and distribution much more efficiently. They've kept their heads buried in the sand for several years thinkin that this problem will go away. They refuse to notice that their business model is extinct. Now they're playing "whack-a-mole" with music pirates, a game they can not possibly hope to win.
