If people could (illegally) download a new Mercedes for free, most would.

"When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point." -Alan Watts

you can't say "the public DEMANDS auto-tuned, beat corrected, loudness maximised recordings" when the public is clearly refusing to pay for it; in droves

Absolutely. By the same logic you could also question the notion that the public doesn't give a shit about the lossy compression. That horrible grainy warbly sound alienates me and I'm a very tolerant listener. I hear the song, know who the singer is and have no sense of involvement even if it's a track I like. Am I some kind of purist? Old fogey? Hell no. (Well old, but not a fogey damnit) By the way, I have heard your above-cited quote spoken by A&R personnel, engineers, producers and especially band members. Where did this poison come from? It's insane. JW

The desire to be famous seems to be more important than the music. But at the end of the day it´s the labels, I think. A lot of bands and musician still follow their visions, dreams of music. But the moment they trying to make it big all good intentions are gone with the wind and they wanna sound like all the others. Who told them "all the others" are making money?

I don't think you can blame labels fir this one
The vast majority of soul-less sterile, flat line brittle records aren't ON actual "labels"
I blame "producer" insecurity. Even if that nominative producer is just the band.
