Why I believe music will be free.

Why I believe music will be free.

I believe that music will end up being free. CD's are now an old system. Mini Disc could have replaced CD's, but Sony messed up on that. Now MP3 (digital) is the new format and the players are getter cheaper and better. In fact my new mobile I have just ordered has an MP3 player built in.

MP3 files are everywhere (free). Why would you want to buy a CD now?

Lets face it the music industry got greedy. CD's in the UK cost over £12, yet DVD's cost £10. I am sure it costs more to make a film (say £10 million or more) than it does to make a CD music disc).

The reality is that people are going to share MP3 files and its a pointless task to try to stop it.

As such it makes more since to give it free.

Now at this point you will say, but how will they make money from doing this?

The simple answer is from the groups or singers doing concerts. Most small bands make a living doing this at the moment. I would think they would get more fans if people can hear there music by spreading a few MP3 files on the net.
