Dickens 1, Nostradamus 0
Classy piece of journalism a few days ago from the mighty Music Week
Well, well. Little did Alan Jones know when he blackberried that breathtaking opening that the US albums market for last week was exactly what Dickens had in mind in 1859. Much of his oeuvre, as music journalists might call it, was a veiled allegory that foresaw the P2P wars, DRM, and copyright debate. I mean, when you think about, what else could he possibly have been referring to in that introduction?

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...little did Charles Dickens know when he penned the opening line of his classic Tale Of Two Cities 149 years ago that it was a sentiment that could be applied to the US albums market for last week.
