the thing with musicians not making as much money from their albums/releases is that then they have to go back to old skool and bring out some awesome live tours to pull those numbers back up in their paychecks
the singers/performers who basically suck without the whole 'recording crew' in tow just won't fair so well in the tour arena, and will hopefully be discouraged and leave the industry since they can't make the money with their crap
could illegal downloading actually equal a reprisal of QUALITY in the music industry??!!

I reckon that would be a nice side effect
