It's tough for me to think otherwise-- it's a very subtle but damnably broad, convenient and accessible tool which can be applied to just about any creative entertainment endeavor. I'm certainly not celebrating that in any way, but at this point I just don't see any practical alternatives in denying its use, whether in the open or behind the curtains.

Given today's musical climate, with a billion different subgenres and garage bands evolving into 'just me on my laptop', I'd guessed this industry would be the first to cave and welcome the exploitation.
