Something to keep in mind is that she's presenting the data and trends from the point of VC rather than a startup. So you can reverse engineer it as to what will get on an investors screen for this minute (well at least some investors)

Something to keep in mind is that music "ownership" may be a generational thing. My parents were members of the silent generation (born in the 30s) and they owned very few physical records. And it's not to say they didn'

To me personally this speaks well for the personal integrity of Tim, and the tech industry at large. As an urban New Yorker when he came out I was personally shocked by the negative comments (or maybe just stupid comments) that I'd rea
