Anything that hurts the industry of corporate radio is a good thing.
In the 'good ol' days' most people only had corporate radio and maybe MTV, when they actually play videos, for exposure to new music. The internet has provided a cost effective means to get exposure for yourself. Granted you could get indie pressings and smaller label music from order catalogs and certain shops, but it was hardly cost effective, it was a roll of the dice. $15, and you may want to throw the fucking thing away after all that effort, but you probably wouldn't. Doesn't make the music any better.
I do miss certain things about the good ol' days, like when you could actually be surprised about a new album by one of your favs
just by walking into a music store, rather than being inundated by news breifs that leave nearly nothing to the imagination. Then again, that news access can be a great thing. So there is good and bad, but anything that takes the power away from the greedy suits who like to force-feed their brands of music is a good thing, if for only that alone.
