Sobering stuff, Myles, especially the link in the 2nd article: "a whole new generation of children will grow up in a world where nobody actually thinks about owning or collecting music, let alone paying for it."

As for me I'll keep my head firmly buried in the sand...

That's right, artists/bands now need to explain why they are actually selling their art ?$*#! Whoa

[The Tasmanian]

Exactly Ben - recorded music is now not considered art!
Its data.
therefore musicians are not "artists" when they record, - they are free data service providers.

>and when they play live, they are entertainers?

So from now on - lets call them "Daticians" or "Datatainers"

So the Con needs to rename itself to "Conservatorium of Data"
Aria awards - "Data Awards"
Record producers - "data producers"
Recording studios - "Data Collection Rooms "

Chris I can see both the sad and funny sides to those terms you posted.

Me too Lee
we may as well have a good laugh - what else can we do?
