Prince CD giveaway angers industry

I am not a big fan of the man's music, but I gotta admire his business acumen. He's not afraid to try new things, to invent new models, to move the business forward. He's trying desperately to remain relevant in a digital world, and make money doing so, and is coming under attack (again) by the folks who should be cheering him on.

Someday, the RIAA and allies will wake up, but I'm afraid by then they'll find themselves in bankruptcy court.

Prince has angered the music industry and stirred up trouble among British retailers by giving away his new album with a tabloid newspaper this weekend.
