In 10-20 years there will be no Britney?s and Aguilera?s making billions on CD?s or Brad Pitt?s making billions on DVD?s. You will have ?amateurs? making music because they love it and not because of the money. With more powerful computers and better cameras you will have great movies made by ?amateurs? and this includes porn. Open source software is already 10 times better than anything Microsoft can come up with.
Give internet users what they want and they WILL pay for it  |
I heard all of that 20 years ago and it didn't happen.
And nobody is making billions from their music.
The kareoke machine didn't replace anything in the music industry.
Youtube has all the means for any amateur to out do any music star but
where is that person.
"Chocolate Rain" was the only half assed threat to ever emerge.
Go ahead and start your own amateur football and basketball teams and take
over the world.
