The death of the record-industry obviously. Hopefully not the end of good music |

not gonna happen |

don't hold your breath on music still being good when the industry falls apart. |

music ain't supposed to be free... you should've worded it like this... "With everyone stealing so much good music via the net, what is the future?" |

"don't hold your breath on music still being good when the industry falls apart." I know :-( But with a whole new generation growing up with "free" music... the music industry can only go on for so long until no cd's are being sold at all anymore. I fear for what will happen after that. |

I think pop music for sure will always be there. They'll figure out someway of sorting out the mp3 situation. Besides Pop music is more about celebrity and mass recognition, than music. I think for the small records labels and quality electronic music, the game is up. I just can't see a way forward for them. I think the future for them is very bleak. Vinyl will go, CDs will go and the future is basically just mp3. Kids of the future will say to people like us 'what you use to buy a big bit of plastic or chunk of metal to listen to music, ha ha ha?'. |

The_Funkmaster, My point wasn't about people stealing music. My point was as I made it. |

"I fear for what will happen after that. " We'll find out in two or three years won't we?If it lasts that long. |

i might bomb all computerrs, but we would be doomed, so no. |

For a start, ban all cd burners. |

This is the future we just have to get use to it. Besides who cares really? Life goes on. The internet was a big shock when it came into people's life, but they got use to it. Same with mp3 really, big shock too but people get use to it. |

You know, there are a lot of good non-profit bands out there. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yeah i'm sure we'll survive without a music industry and no music. I smell sarcasm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Or so they make us think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well maybe the ones you know... I know a lot of musicians who make music for the art and make shit cash. They'll always be music, good music besides big record companies little products. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I think we will survive. I mean I've heard enough good music and bought enough good music over the years to be pretty satisfied. Its a shame things have gone the way they have I suppose but no I don't think I'll loose any sleep over it. |
||||||||

i would hope that people who enjoyed the music would support the artists they like and continue to buy that stuff. record labels weed out the shit. you would get bored fast having to waste hours and hours doing that if it werent for them. they wont go away. stealing music from small/indie artists only hurts the artists, not the labels. the labels dont make enough to be hurt to begin with. one will fold and another will come along. the real victims are the artists and the listeners. |

I was talking about the free downloads on the internet, on artists sites. |

I seriously think those musicians at the pissant level really ought to grow up if they expect to make money out of what they do. It should be fun chiefly, people who are trying to make money out of it are just sad. They ought to actually attempt to make money from something that you can actually make money at, instead of living in a fantasy land! |
||||||||

Yea. I hate it. I think it's ridiculius. That whole industry. They get paid millions of dollars. Just like proffessional sports players. That money could be going to better use... raising pay for school teachers and nurses, focusing on education and good carrers... not Hollywood image and basketball. It's ridiculous. |
||||||||

Mmm, you kinda put a lot of words in my mouth corrupted-girl. I didn't say any of that. I said people trying to make money at the pissant level. The pissant level means the sort of people who are selling maybe 50cds or whatever. And no I don't resent the industry making millions, I'm not a socialist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
easy answer! the musicians we all listen to (besides the ones who make millions of dollars) have to get day jobs and can only release an album every 2 or 3 years because assholes like "us" (you, really) won't pay $12 for an album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No I didn't say that either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry. But I believe that... I think it's obscene. |

i download loads of music, and still by loads of vinal, that IS NOT gonna stop for me... there is a diffrernce betwix compressed DIGITAL files and clean groove ridden vinal. i have not one mp3 that will replace the value of my 12in collection... as for the industry going down, people are just jumping on a slippery slope about the whole thing... people THOUGHT that telephone calls and the mail service were gonna fade into the nothing after email became thee norm and sorts, but hey we still fuck with those now don't we... anyone of you ever walk into a major record store to find one person browsing the racks??? i don't think sooo.... everyweekend the amoeba's rasputins, virgins, towers around the world are packed with people buying...guess what, music... take a good look, the next time you at one... these people don't have pangs of regert over buying the latest whatever... tisk... |

no one's arguing with that, there will always be responsible fans like you, myself, and hundreds of others on this board. but music sales are declining, including and perhaps especially in indie genres. you may find people in stores, but if you did the math you'll find less stores than 2 years ago, especially independent stores. that's the global trend anyway, not necessarily true in every case. |
