2601042, the fence in this case cant be put up again Posted by GumDrops, Wed Sep-14-11 09:19 AM
its impossible
you can only try and persuade people that somehow they should stop trampling over that fence and consider paying a little to get to the cow without having to endure the trouble and hassle of the steal
which is what the biz is trying to do now with things like spotify
it seems to be working i think
convenience is what people seem to want the most and i think for most people even the idea of youtubing songs through searches or googling for torrents is hassle they can cut if they just have something like a streaming service
ultimately the thing which needs to be restored is the transaction and cash for music exchange, how thats done i think no one really cares about, as long as part of the old model - where artists get paid, labels sell music - is back in place securely
im not sure this is healthy exactly for how we treat and regard music but at this point worrying about the psychology of music buying-listening is prob a minor concern
