From Digital Music Forum West 2006: Nic Harcourt, Music Director for KCRW and host of Morning Becomes Eclectic, articulates what many are thinking - the big record labels have themselves to blame for the current state of the music business, not just piracy: “What happened in the 90’s was that they pushed the alternative rock movement down our throats and then all these one-hit-wonders. They let the cat out of the bag. It is disingenuous of them to blame piracy for their problems.” He made the statement in a keynote interview with Ned Sherman, CEO and Publisher of Digital Media Wire, during “Digital Music Forum West” at the BelAge hotel in Los Angeles.
