Anyway, in east russian language we call it moosika (music). Sounds funny little bit, isn’t it? When people dies in village, they used to sing such sort of songs. Interesting. right?

You have to remember that each time you catch one of these moles, 5 more spring up. There is no way to successfully restrict the inherent capacities of the CD as a non-restricted tool for distribution–it will be copied and burned as long as it exists! Secondly, I think the death of the CD is great :) We can now look at pulling back the reigns on the runaway music business that has been ‘stealing’ from the artists’ and consumers’ pockets for years. The new model will focus on the personal interaction that brings utility to the consumer, and the packaged good will be recognized as a promotional tool. As the home theater morphs into the home computer, owning music will still be important, except you’ll have access to whatever you want whenever you want under the music like water consumption model. That was a mouthful…

GOOD MUSIC. Gone are the days where someone will buy a whole cd because they heard a song on the radio and its time to face up to that. They’ll check out the one song they heard first online and maybe then whole record (on mp3) first from a friend or file sharing. If the music good enough that they feel they cant live without it they’ll buy the cd. I know that i want to support certain artists because they deserve it and they make great art. The music companies should stop trying to re invent the wheel in terms of copyright protection and maybe focus on what they should have focused on all along and that is the quality of music… of course thats laughable.. but it’s really the only way.

Or somebody like Amazon could just buy the entire code base and data.

I’m still convinced there is a market for downloads as long as the price is right. because there is a cut off point where ease of use trumps free.

Regardles of the format, CD or downloaded, recorded music must exist in a format that can be stolen. How do you put the suggested “experiences” in a physical format and how do you prevent the “experiences” from being pirated as well?
