>>What the people want is free music
>Uhh, no.
>What the people want is easy access to music, and the ability to sample.
No, actually I want free music.
I don't mind paying for a concert where someone is actually performing music and I'll probably buy a shirt or something while I'm there but I'll never pay for recorded music again.
So, you say, "No one is going to record music for free", to which I reply "If they want to make me aware of them so I'll attend their performances, the'll provide me with free music to attract my attention."
EMI, Sony, Bertelsman etc. might balk at this. I don't care. They're legacy distributors who are rapidly becoming irrelevant.
N'sync and Britany might not do this, but that's not music anyways.
The musicians who really matter will embrace this. The labels will, for the most part, go away. I just hope the go away before they buy to much bad legislation.
