Hi Bob: If that's the case, then isn't the music business going to keep shrinking for quite a while? Back when the album was a "luxury item," wasn't the business much smaller -- and weren't those luxury items produced and marketed by people who knew music as opposed to lawyers and accountants? I must say I am not as optimistic as you seem that any vestige of a "music business" will exist in another decade. I just hope some phoney dot-bomb doesn't end up with somebody's archives, which then get lost or sold for pennies to a game publisher or the like when the dot-bomb blows up. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Olhsson" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2007 12:34 AM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] SACD fans -- some discounts > -----Original Message----- > From Matt Sohn: It's all gonna go on the net.
