Re: Good times
said by gorehound  :we hate you RIAA !!! we will never buy music from any large corporate label !!! we will never buy music from any artist who signs with the RIAA !!! That's the problem: 'near everyone is stealing it instead.
I heard someone comment on Michael Jackson's death: "Thriller" is the all-time #1 seller. That record will never be broken. People think they should get music for free.
I heard no one's investing in new artists anymore, as the economic value of a song is inevitably approaching zero. Probably in the future, there will be no "big time" wealthy music acts. The idea that you can become rich with music will be an anachronism. Everyone will essentially be a small-time, local act, making money from live performances, donations, etc. Is this a bad thing? I dunno. But it is a drastic change, and the death of a large industry. |
