The Internet hasn't "screwed up" the music business any more than the printing press "screwed up" the publishing industry. The Internet is opening up whole new worlds of opportunities for musicians who otherwise might never have a chance to be noticed or get their music out to the public. Just because the embittered monks in the cloisters of the major record labels are pissing and moaning because nobody wants to buy their over-priced gilded manuscripts of crap anymore doesn't mean the music business is "screwed up." And if it is, it's their own fault. Greedy, reactionary record company executives are the enemy here, not the Internet.
