Me too, but I don't feel that that's a win for the music industry, I see that as a win for me.
I didn't engage with a business model that didn't work for me, like millions of others; and eventually a business model emerged that I was willing to support. Maybe Napster lost, but I still got what I wanted, and it seems like the record labels did too.
Why would you assume the same thing is impossible for online publishing?
- bduerst 11y agoProbably because it's the same principal of creative content consumption. Sure you've got your go-to artists and albums, but music discovery is so much easier when you have an all-access pass to everything. Same goes with the news - you'll always have your BBCs, Reuters, etc. but you also want to see something new and creative, which [probably] wouldn't have got off the ground if it required paid consumption models.
