Exec: (pointing to trade show booth logo) "We are not evil." That's not very nice.<\/p>\n Jan: Why not?<\/p>\n Exec: Well, you're saying we're evil.<\/p>\n Jan: No we're not. Only you can be the judge of that.<\/p>\n Exec: (snicker, frown)<\/p>\n Jan: Depending on how you treat your musicians, you may or may not be evil. How do you treat your musicians?<\/p>\n Exec: Well, I think we treat them pretty good.<\/p>\n Jan: Do they make any money?<\/p>\n Exec: Um\u2026 well, you know. It varies from contract to contract.<\/p>\n Jan: You mean that there could be a contract where a musician would not receive any money? That's evil. (giggle)<\/p>\n Exec: (frown) No, it isn't. So you really think this idea of yours will work?<\/p>\n Jan: Yea, we do. Everyone's really excited and many of the musicians are already making money.<\/p>\n Exec: Well, I don't see how this business model can work in the long term.<\/p>\n Jan: From what I read in the press your business model isn't working out too well.<\/p>\n Exec: (smirk) But mergers like BMG and SONY are going to have an impact.<\/p>\n Jan: Oh good, then they can go bankrupt together instead of separately.<\/p>\n Exec: (frown)<\/p>\n Jan: I mean, your whole industry is based on stealing people's music. It's like running a restaurant and not paying the cooks. Eventually you're going to run out of food and then the customers will stop coming. It seems they already have stopped.<\/p>\n Exec: Yea, ha, you're funny. Well, it's been interesting talking to you. I mean it, really interesting. No hard feelings, ok?<\/p>\n Jan: (shaking hands) No problem, have fun at MIDEM.<\/code><\/p>\n [from http:\/\/blogs.magnatune.com\/]<\/p>\n I had a pretty crappy day, apart from lauperr<\/a> presenting me with my present.
