maani: how about "A Deer in the Works"?
Fairly obscure, but totally relevant...and a little Vonnegut goes a long way.

Well my friend, why not just call it " Home Taping Is Killing Music "   |
People still taping - wow how quaint, 8 track or reel to reel?
In fact, if you are making a recording from your own records, for your own use, it is legal in this part of the world - remember our glorious EU parliament have made sure there is a tax on recording mediums. In other words a levy which goes to the copyright people (in theory) for distribution to the musicians - my regret is that I'm not allowed to nominate who my tax goes to - there are 1000's of bands and "artistes" who would not benefit. I've also long held that the record industry are killing themselves through igreed (e.g. over-pricing) and music station play list manipulation - the musical comedy act, the Darkness (in truth their management) announced they were charging 99p (a quid in reality, with the electricity to power your PC) per track downloaded as an MP3 this week. Rip-off.

Velvetclown:
Leave it to you to come up with XTC's (other) brilliant paean to the music industry! That is a great addition to my list! I'm actually thinking of burning a disc with only these songs. Got any ideas for an album title?
Peace.

One more:
Folk-rock-almost-prog gruop Decameron made one anti-industry song, but I can't remember the title. Anyone?

He had a great tune about the positivities of road life called "Road Ladies".

Neil Young - Payola Blues (corruption, Alan Freed: fun!)
Bad Company - Shooting Star (the fearsome toll of the R&R lifestyle: powerful, & Paul Rodgers is a strong singer!)
Mott the Hoople - All the Way from Memphis (Just a great song -- love the piano!)
Bowie - Star (The lust for fame -- a great song from a great album!)
Stones - Starf**ker (self-explanatory!)
Byrds - So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star (one of the all-time cynical classics!)
oh, and King Crimson - Ladies of the Road
