Unsound: How Digital Delivery Changed Music

Here's an extended trailer for Unsound, a movie about how the Internet changed music. It's pretty interesting, and I agree with the facts of the movie, but not the general tone. If you know the history of music, you know that at every point along the way there's been something that's unfair, that's against artists, and that favors those who exploit the business, so what we're going through today is really no different than it ever was.

You can't just complain about how things have changed, because they're always changing. As soon as you get the hang of how everything is working, something new changes the paradigm. The difference is that it's happening faster than ever today so you can never get comfortable with what you know.

So watch this trailer because it's well done and interesting, but don't despair, because believe it or not, things are not as bad as the movie makes it out to be.
