    Dear music industry,

    All we, your customers, ever wanted was a simple "we give you a buck, you give us the mp3" business model. Now, in 1999 (+10), you finally deliver (more or less). Thank you.

    Now please fire all marketing heads that did not tell you the above simple truth for the last 10 years. And while you're at it, fire all execs that come out with braindead ideas like the one in TFA. Thank you.

    Next, concentrate on delivering actual music, from actual artists, recorded in actual quality, and stop feeding us noisy, overproduced crap from barbie dolls that can't sing. Thank you.

    Paris, because everything she does is a failure, but who really cares?
