Sound Object: This is a response to collaborative consumption. The inspiration is the erosion of the recording industries business model due to bit torrents and file sharing, as well as the movement for free sampling of recordings to create new music. It has turned into a war between music listeners and the record labels who have historically controlled the price of music.DMR, sampling rights, MP3s, and relentless sharing (that keeps moving on) have forever changed the landscape of the music industry. And, like in real war, there are casualties. The deep booming voice saying "kill me" represents the recording industry standing idly by, nearly asking to be taken down.
