We have appreciated your place in our lives up to date and look forward to what is yet to come, however, a rift has come between us which can no longer be ignored or excused.

You the Music Industry have failed to move with us in our discovery of new and exciting ways to interact, collaborate, and communicate. We have embraced the digital space and the opportunities it affords us, and we have changed because of this. We are developing new forms of entertainment which have transformed the way we interact with each other, with you, and with music. This is an ongoing process, and we are excited about what we will discover tomorrow.

For some reason you assume that we are the same as yesterday, and you are kidding yourself.

You wrongly place the blame of declining CD sales on others. Our source of entertainment has diversified, and we are no longer as interested in the concept of the 'album'.

There is no digital music battle or piracy war. That is a figment of your imagination, and, every time you preach our digital crimes to us, we 'tune out' of your deranged ranting. Your declining profits are the symptom of a business model that is fast becoming irrelevant.

You want us to pay? We want you to pay attention.

You have an amazing opportunity to develop new and exiting ways to interact with us and develop a future-sustainable digital economy, and we are willing to put our money where we perceive there is value.

We would like to have an ongoing relationship with you, but we will not wait for you. Our new digital community is smarter than before, we mass collaborate and have access to any information at anytime. We are capable of making our own way, but better still, we would like you to join us.
