People have traditionally tended to collect music, however, unlike newspapers and magazines. Coming in contact with someone's interesting record collection used to be a memorable event. Piracy has made music less scarce, though, and the mystique of music has lessened because of it.
- ajross 14y agoActually I deliberately skipped music and movies. These are areas where DRM has tended to work very badly. Basically, people still like to collect music. And those who do do it in archivable form, overwhelmingly so. The "problem" there isn't that they're unknowingly buying in to a bad license regime, it's that they're knowingly evading the license regime entirely.
- Evbn 14y agoA collection can be a collection of references. You don't need the music now to put it on your list of favorites and conversation topics.
- hessenwolf 14y agoYes - my music collection is entirely in mp3s from various sources, but it is still a good get-to-know you area.
