some interesting stats (this from last weeks Music Week) 5 million people regularly access tracks via internet 1 billions tracks downloaded annually (the vast majority being illegally) 6/10 downloaders use file-sharing services such as Kazaa adding up to about 2.5 million UK users 2/3rds of those downloading music are typically male and probably have a least a reasonable level of experience of the web the fact the consumers can access music for free is the biggest incentive to download, although the study aslo found evidence that some people liked to trial music first before going out to buy it. downloading as a means of obtaining rare or difficult-to-obtain repetoire was also highlighted as a significant factor. users download an average of 19 tracks per month, rising to 25 for high-speed connections individual tracks rather than entire albums are likely to be sourced typically to create compilations 57% burn music to CDs, which is 126m CDs every year 4.2 CDs burned a month, 24% burning to give away to others, while 2% admitted to selling them |

there's no excuse for selling them.....I know there's loads of lame reasons like 'I can't afford it'....when I was a lad, I'd save my pocket money, wait and dream about owning it 'till I could afford 'that' skooly D album. Cd's/Vinyl are expensive. because something is out of reach conventionaly isn't an excuse for theft. that's another disscusion...anyway.....interesting earth I'll have a look at music week tomorrow.. |

It's an interesting time in music for sure!! Hopefully it'll be worked out fairly soon so people can get music they want when they want and musicians get paid. At the moment each side (labels-downloaders) are being silly being soo black and white. A re-distribution of power is going to happen and both parties need to eat some humble pie! |

ive always thought it a bit rubbish you hear something on the radio and only 2 months later can you actually buy it |

It's allways 3 months after an album/single is finished is it available for everyone!! It's bullshit, I'm sure the people who make the music I want to get want me to hear it now. Soulseek etc is a brilliant interface for everyone! there needs to be some compensation/payment/price I don't know what it should be called, for the people that make the music, the people that fund projects (the labels) so the musicians can use an orchestra, buy that computer, pay for studio time to record their 'art' etc. There are too many old thinkers in power for any movement at the moment. Hopefully some 12 year old will sort it out.. |
