It really saddens me that the two industries I'm most passionate about, music and baseball, so consistently fail to understand how times are changing and technology is evolving...to their cost. Stubborn, pig-headed lawyering seems to win out every time as they simultaneously alienate & gouge their consumers and damage their brands. At least I hold out a sliver of hope for MLB to make some improvements since it's a smaller industry in terms of the number of players and more highly centralized. We've needed some new blood running it for a long time. This is just further proof of why. Great post, Jeff.
