the one question is
how will the artist survive then ,will any body create music?
music is a gift everybody has
maybe more ppl will just make music for themselves
and share it with freinds that dont?
any ideas on this....

i think that youth culture, for a a variety of reasons too boring to get into in this post, will always gravitate towards a sort of safe outlaw they can aspire to be or to safely sleep with. record company economics being what they are now see labels creating the creatures and reaping the dividends. i think the future will bring us entrepreneurs who use music as the vehicle to promote their stars but whose economic models don't depend on unit sales of prerecorded songs to consumers for profit. the songs will still be there, as awful and ubiquitous as always but they'll be free thru d/l's or bundled in cross promotions with other items. the real money will lie elsewhere but the songs will remain the same.
additionally of course we'll hear more and more great independent music as it gets as easy to make as it now is to distribute.
