I’m afraid I have to agree with you. I’ve read Mark’s blog for a while now, and there’s a real danger of becoming a bit too hectoring (and goodness knows, I’m guilty of that too). It’s always useful to have a mirror put up in front of your own behaviour, and I’m certainly now thinking more carefully about the way I communicate the future of radio in public. Radio is actually in fine form, and yes there are risks, and we must face them and deal with them, but we’ve survived before and I’ve no doubt we’ll adapt and survive some more.

I think they went ahead initially, but last.fm do now have agreements in place with Warner and EMI (in Feb/Mar time, IIRC), and are apparantly in talks with Sony and Universal over the video thing.
