Music. Definitely... for now at least.

The music biz is a larger beast. In the US alone record sales have hit $5.6 billion at midyear which should bring it to around $11 or $12 billion at years end. That's just in the U.S. which only accounts for 33% of the total global market. You also have to include the publishing revenue and concert & merchandising which should effectively double the final number. That's a lotta cash!

On a side note, as some of you know the music and broadcasting biz is my other job and has been for the past 14 years. Being one of the few guys that understands both the tech side and record side my company has been commissioned to figure out how to deal with this file sharing dilemma by some of the bigwigs. I have a good idea on how to fix the situation. I would love to have conversations with any of you guys if you have ideas. The way adult webamasters look at things is totally different than anyone else on the net and I think everyone here can shape the way things turn out on the net as a whole.
