Only the good live, survive (Score 1)

One of the best things to come out of this file sharing fiasco is the ability for bands to be heard by people who would otherwise never hear their music or be prepared to pay $30 per CD. Now that it is possible to never by a CD again, I think artists we have to rely more on their live performace to make money - which is what I believe music is primarily about. Lets not forget that the artist sees hardly *any* of that $30 so its not the artist who will be most out of pocket - it will be the major record companies and who really cares about them?? Many bands today still do not support file sharing - most likely they have only heard the record companies side of things. Before long, record companies will be a thing of the past - good riddance - put the money into the hands of the people who actually do the work.
