**Jeff Price**, CEO of the digital music distributor [TuneCore](http://www.tunecore.com/?ref=hypebot.com), has been vocal about his disagreements with **Tommy Silverman** in the past, but when charged with the account of helping clutter the music environment with crap in a recent **WIRED** [feature](https://www.hypebot.com/silverman-the-internet-is-a-medium-like-air/) on **[What's Wrong With The Music Biz](http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/07/tom-silverman-proposes-radically-transparent-music-business/all/1?ref=hypebot.com)**, Price became *quite* apologetic:

It's actually **a brilliant strategy**: limit choice, force the releases you want to sell down people's throats, control **what music is exposed by the media outlets** (like radio and MTV) and then take all the moneyfrom the sales that come in. Oh wait, my mistake, that's **the way it was in the old music industry**, and 98% of what the majors labels released failed. \[Limiting\] choice **does not make music sell**."
