The internet is bigger than the music industry

Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, quoted by Ars Technica:

Record labels have a very strong voice when it comes to arguing for their particular business model, which is in fact out of date. The result is that laws have been created which make out as if the only problem on the internet is teenagers stealing music. The world is bigger than that. The internet is bigger than the music industry. The economic impact of the internet is bigger than the music industry.
