ELI5 Why do people say music has a dinosaur business model?

Everytime acta,sopa,megaupload or illegal downloading as a whole get's discussed people mention that "it isn't the internet's fault that they have a dinosaur business model!". What do you guys mean?

It's simple. In the olden days, the logistics of producing and distributing audio recordings was complex, expensive, and labor intensive. Recording studios were huge investments in state of the art equipment that no musician could afford. Pressing albums and distributing them to retail stores was beyond the reach of anything but a huge, well heeled organization.

Now, with only a little money and effort, a 14 year old can make a basement studio using off the shelf gear, record and produce their album with reasonably priced software, and make the results available instantly to the whole planet. The record production industry is vestigial.
