I'm an absolute music nut, I love live music and I don't steal music. I either buy CDs on impulse (say at Starbucks ... I'm slightly old) or iTunes. But I spend money on concerts and other premium music stuff. I would pay huge to have David Usher produce videos, lyrics and chords so that I learn to play the his songs for my own pleasure ... directly from him. How wickedly cool would that be! I would pay to get his new record early and so on. My point was the DRM didn't work and therefore most people are increasingly just going to take the songs so you have to do something around the songs that people are willing to pay for or use advertising to generate $ (which isn't as good but works for radio). The price of the direct song is dropping to 0 no matter what but the value certainly isn't. I would NEVER imply that the value of music 0.

Be that innovation, evolution, honesty or interactivity will depend on the artist. I don't think the format is really that important. Maybe I’m naïve but I don’t think fans want music to reach a 0 value. We want our preferred artists to make a living by it so they can continue to create for us without having to spread themselves too thin. More than pirating or anything else at the moment, the biggest threat as I see it is the current devaluation of the music through its marketing. The battle of artist vs. celebrity (not saying an artist can also be famous) is what is killing the industry. On the bright side, if music finally does reach a 0 value, at least there will be less incentive for the “quit singing and show us some T&A” brand of celebrity in the industry. For those of us who weren’t at the conference, any new or interesting ideas/concepts being brought up? @ Allan - I would like to believe fans will pay for quality.

But there are still many people out there, like my mother, who in her early 80's could be around for a while and who may never be involved with the web. I feel a bit sad for this group who, while they won't be living a lot longer, are left out of this "information superhighway" to some extent if they can't just go and buy a CD and plop it into their machine. I don't mind buying CD's since I don't buy a lot, just some for my favourite artists. I think I would turn off from any musician who decided to only distribute their music via the web. But that's just me. The web is “where it’s at”, I don’t question this for a second.
