the underlying idea of course is to free musicians from the so called record industry and consequently change the way music is being "consumed" in today's society.
no more records.
sounds like some communist shit right ?

sike. make records if you want but don't make your livelihood depend on them because it'll get pirated.
a system will have to be figured out so that livelihood remain in control of the artist.
yes that would mean less wannabe musicians, less money to be made, less garbage on the radio, less ipods, less internet, more time for people to live with each other or actually play music just for the hell of it
