Look at the rappers.. if the music industry was going to shits. How could they buy all that stuff. From concerts? nah. from their cd's going platinum.

This was said of records when CD's came out.
Yet when I go to the music shops its jus CD's I see.
How can these chaps make cash if the music is given away.
Some suggestions:
When music vids are played on TV they pay per show.
Concerts.
Clothes. (such as t--shirts)
DVD sales. Though music may be free, I would suggest that music/vid DVDs could be sold. Not only contain music vids but interviews and current info on the artist. Also better sound, such as surround sound.
As for rappers, well I do not see why they would not get people going to there concerts.
If anything it would allow small unknown artists to become more well known.
I am in the UK and used to listen to MTV2 on Sky. This was music from EU. Often France and Germany. Often they played some very cool music. Yet you would never hear this in the UK as the music industry is dominated by a few big firms who are only interested in selling tripe boy bond groups.
