    I think CDs should be sold at the band’s concert… and/or should be included in the purchase of the concert… say: the concert ticket goes for about $50 + dollars… the concert ticket should costs $70 and include t-shirts and other s&%$ that fans love… I don’t buy a CD until a hear a performer live b/c if they have little to “no talent” (which is the case a lot these days…) I’ll take my $20 and buy gas… live performances rock and I’ll spend my life’s saving for a good one….

    I’ve always felt the same way. I’ve watched a wide variety of artists make a living by allowing interested patrons spend as much or as little as they want on their albums. Even to the point of paying nothing. They seem to be doing fine. Always been my opinion that not everyone in this world is completely cheap. Thanks for the reply.

    Yes – the whole thinking about intellectual property in music will change – not because laws change but because artists themselves make their own decisions to make their material available in new ways on new terms – often for free. Patrick Dixon

    Do you think the way ‘pirating’ is treated will also change? Do you think copyright laws need a rehaul thanks to the introduction of the internet?

  12. I couldn’t agree …
    I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. You literally took the words out of my mind.

    I think what will happen, in say 3 years, will be a much more equal playing field. The big acts now will soon level out with the unknowns. It’s already started to happen.

    It’s funny that live music is becoming the main focus again. It’s almost a regression back to the times of Mozart.
    Excellent video.
