What bit did you find interesting?

The bit where he conveniently forgets that his generation taped radio shows?

The bit where he says he's not trying to shame this young intern, but then starts countless paragraphs referring to her by name and providing her ways to atone?

or the bit where he's crying into his beer about a soul-less generation of freetards with no value on creativity? but it's okay... (sob) it's not your fault...

or his blogging it on wordpress, on php, on apache, on linux (all created maintained by soul-less freetards in their spare time).

or the bit where he thinks that scientists investigating IF copyright MAY BE impeding SCIENTIFIC progress are pinko bastards out to drag america to it's knees?

or the bit where he advocates an economic model based on iTunes... itunes ffs! walled garden's, no free market, run on machines made in a communist dictatorship in a factory with an extremely questionable suicide rate - but that's okay musos know how to use that tech... and it looks nice.

or the bit where he's accusing the service providers of permitting piracy by charging users a premium for high volumes of downloads - which frankly could be anything.

or the bit where he attributes all the ills of the music industry to downloaders, like scientists attributing most of the mass in the universe to dark matter, but without the closed system or the scientific evidence to support the preconceptions?

or the comments wheere he weaves about inconsistently trying to defend his position?

To my mind the guy is a wash-up how he ever scraped together the qualifications to teach is beyond me, because is ignorance seems only to be matched by his belief that the world owes him a living.

@ Frankus. Most of that. Your analysis wasn't bad either.

Actually, I was making mental notes while reading that whole load of bollocks, and my list matched yours exactly.
