except that it won't happen without a big, nasty struggle. how often do
people in power just give up their privileges? there's a war to be won,
steve. this ain't gonna just happen by itself.

Subject: Musicians and Money.... Take 2
Soon, it'll all be digital; Artists will submit tracks to net "wherehouses"
who will specialize by genre. The distributor will say, "Come to my site,
I've weeded through the crap, and I've got the hot hot music, the hot
music." You'll listen to 2 or 3 minute samples, decide to buy, and whoosh,
download it for a fee.
The musician gets paid... the MP3 "scout" - warehouser gets paid... and the
record company exec? Back to the used car lot where he belongs.... (He
didn't really like all that loud noise anyway...)
