Good grief, what a thread, anyway.
I read recently that if you divided the number of downloads sold by i tunes by the number of i pods sold you get the number 24. I guess there could be a few i pods with a few bootlegs on board.
If the theory is correct that as more music gets pirated fewer talented people will enter the main stream music industry then we should see a dropping in creative and technical standards. We know that music is being pirated so are we seeing the drop in standards?
In this thread I see a lot of reference made to traditional copyright models being destined to fail in the digital era. It is suggested that new more appropriate and enlightened models should be utilized. I am in the dark though as to what these models might be. The only concrete suggestion I seem able to find is one whereby google adds will generate the income required for survival. I can hardly wait!!
