Because I'm pretty sure I won't. I can't see myself going back to physical media or DRM-laden files any soon.

- ZenoArrow 10y agoI don't know what the music industry expects to happen in the future, but I'm fairly certain that the best approach for supporting musicians would be for Bandcamp and/or similar sites to grow in popularity. They've got the right approach IMO; high-quality DRM-free digital files, with the majority of revenues going direct to the artist, as well as curated lists (made by Bandcamp and music fans) for discovering new music. https://bandcamp.com/ https://bandcamp.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandcamp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandcamp
