Music may have very well dismantled itself for the future though; the actual IP of your music has become incredibly low in value. Tours and other forms of merch are the revenue generators. There used to be song writers that could sell songs to pop artists to perform and record; that generates much less now. I think the middle ground of interesting bands that aren’t superstars or one hit wonders will sort of dry up. The TV and movie industry have decided that their IP is more valuable than it was in the past. The technology has changed such that they can distribute it on their own and don’t need carriers. It kind of looks like we might be heading for a pay per play model, ultimately. It will be very interesting with Disney+, it will be brave if they really do everything at $7 a month, I suspect that they will want premium tiers though, they have been so protective of their “vault” and now they have Starwars, the marvel universe, Pixar, the simpsons, etc...
