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

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) Ricky |

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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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.

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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Word of mouth internet discussions? How did other art forms prosper prior to big media (prior to about 1900)? |
