Conventional wisdom says that free music is the future, and the record industry is fighting a quixotic battle even attempting to combat illegal downloading. But one record company exec says we’re all missing the point. “If you could download a loaf of bread free you would. But you can’t, thank God, because otherwise bakers would cease to exist and there would be no bread to download. Then we’d all be dead, and good riddance to us, because we humans are greedy, thieving, conniving bastards, every last one of us.”
