But now that the deed is done, the next best solution might have already been suggested by Simmons when he stated that up to a million might be put out of work - yeah, maybe all these dinosaurs might need to make way for fresh minds and thinking to better utilize the opportunities presented by the digital world. We've already lost 7 years with little progress. Mp3.com was sued in 2000 and now, mp3tunes.com with an updated model faces the same fate. Gene Simmons: "The record industry is in such a mess... There is nothing in me that wants to go in there and do new music. How are you going to deliver it? How are you going to get paid for it if people can just get it for free?..... The record industry doesn't have a f*cking clue how to make money. It's only their fault for letting foxes get into the henhouse and then wondering why there's no eggs or chickens. Every little college kid, every freshly-scrubbed little kid's face should have been sued off the face of the earth. They should have taken their houses and cars and nipped it right there in the beginning. Those kids are putting 100,000 to a million people out of work."
