Downloading Flying Music

I suppose you guys never taped one of your friend's ablums either.

But he's still a thief, as are those who
illegally download protected music.

(Let the rationalizations begin.) 8)

No rationalization here -- I agree with you.

I'll stick with the pay-per-play guys.

No, I haven't. I even own multiple copies of Bill's programs 'cause I
have multiple computers. Heck, I even pay for shareware programs.
Actually, I'm a saint; someone please tell my wife as she doesn't seem
to recognize this. 8)

No, but I DID tape their albums... ;-)

I think this is different, however. We're talking something on a world-wide
level that threatens the very nature of the music business.

Bottom line: If everyone burned a copy of her next CD, Sheryl Crowe would
receive about two dollars for making her next album.

Why?

Because you have to ask yourself if there is any need for the music
company itself. Many artists are now selling directly over the net.

While this may be a good point in some cases, I sincerely doubt that most
musicians (or, for that matter, business people) have the marketing savvy to
"create" the mega-groups and hit songs necessary for a thriving music
industry.

Much of what I see on the net is garage bands, spewing music. Unless you've
got nothing else to do but listen to music, how the heck can you find the
"good" stuff that is worth buying?

THAT is the critical function that record companies perform, and have always
done. And that's why we pay THEM.

The record companies marketing is getting the bands on the radio, then
public demand takes over. But if the band gets itself on the radio,
especially NYC and LA, the music company is not relavant.

Right, but who decides if they're "good enough" to get air play?

That's been the recording industry's job for the last 50 years or so.
Whether it's them, or the radio industry, SOMEONE has to do it.

And whoever does it is going to want their cut.

Word of mouth internet discussions?

How did other art forms prosper prior to big media (prior to about 1900)?
