I considered that, and I normally ignore ExtremeTech articles because I think they're usually blogspam. This article actualy seemed to backup its own point. Sure, sensation makes for a good read and no one (most especially myself) is immune to it, but it's hard to ignore the quotations and Twitter screenshots that backup the author's point.
I don't think the article's wrong, exactly (though I'm more sympathetic to the authors than the, er, author is), but it's definitely written in a decidedly editorialized way.
I guess another way to say what I'm trying to say is: he didn't need to add any spin of his own (like the RIAA line) considering the quotes and screenshots.
