Music Will Be Free
David Card of Jupiter Research doesn’t get it –
By this remarkably oversimplified analysis, software, filmed entertainment, soda at McDonalds, and the classic example, high-end perfume, should all be free. What, pray tell, are the “real products” that will support those industries? Very few bands can make a living off of touring and T-shirts. Oh, that’s it, advertising. I bet Arrington listens to a lot of commercial radio…
Flattening the economy results in everyone making more for less. Bands will produce more, and they’ll make less for it. This is what happens when you aren’t working with scarce resources. The economy is very different.
