Is it just me, or does this sentence from the article not make sense:
'The music format MP3, which MP3.com helped popularize, gave "the devil a name" for the record labels, musician Thomas Dolby Robertson once said.' ?

Maybe it's because I'm English and we speak a different language??

On the other hand, if I am right and no one else noticed then how many people read this stuff. That would also make me look a bit sorry.

What I believe he's trying to say is musician Thomas Dolby Robertson once said that with the creation of the mp3 file format, record companies began to regard the new format as the devil.
its badly done...
