I think this is the difference someone like Gene Simmons is overlooking. He and his band are one of a gazillion bands just like they always were, but with one difference: the other bands have much more exposure now due to these new services.
- A_COMPUTER 12y agoAll Simmons sees is the money he would have made had there not been file sharing, and so everything is bad. He is is not paying attention to how people are making money making music today in the same sort of environment, I suppose because that has no impact on his personal revenue.
