This is actually a valid reminder that there is now a generation of people working in the online industry who have grown up without ever purchasing or using a CD, and do not know about the story of CD-Baby. We predicted it would happen back then - it is the reality now.
Sad, because a large part of the early history of the internet is wrapped up in stories about people like Derek Sivers and his company. Perhaps it is a pre-requisite for most startup courses to have a history lesson around those days?
- quickthrower2 7y agoPurchased many a CD, Cassette and played vinyls, but no never heard of CD-Baby.
