• The best-selling item for most musicians is the ''whole package deal,'' which contains video clips, liner notes, segregated musical tracks, reviews, ads and artwork -- all stored on a well-designed artifact in limited editions.
• Despite the fact that with some effort you can freely download the song you think you want in a format you think will work for your system, most people choose to go to a reliable retailer online and use the retailer's wonderful search tools and expert testimonials to purchase what they want because it is simply easier and a better experience all around.
I truly wish artists and musicians all the best in the future of p2p(as opposed to the RIAA), but have the unsettling feeling that the ideas above will not help them. With the first one, i am sure there will be ways to rip all of those bits and compile them to share on p2p networks as well. With the 2nd, nothing is easier than going to such a site, reading those reviews, then getting the song/album free on a p2p network. Just my thoughts, not that I like them....and very pessimistic...sorry
