Record labels love to complain about how hard it is to sell music these days, since everybody already has it -- in a superior, unprotected format no less. But the labels have something eMule and BitTorrent users do not: access to the original master recordings that created the albums in their catalogs.
My latest Listening Post column is about how those recordings could give the labels a new lease on life by allowing them to move past the sound quality available on P2P and CD.
