I've actually read somewhere that the comparison to the music business is not really the best, and the comparison that should be made is to the changes in television.  If I think about it at lunch time, I'll try to find the link to the blog.
Awesome - I'd like to read that, if for no other reason to see what their reasoning is.

I always enjoy reading well-thought-out arguments with plenty of numerical support and solid evidence, even if I don't agree with them in a final emotional judgement.

I'm pretty sure this is the right one--http://kriswrites.com/2010/10/21/the-business-rusch-changing-times-overview/, though I only skimmed through it tonight.

Thank you veddy muchly Starbeam!
That was an enjoyable &  interesting article. She made one serious factual error, and a couple of odd (to me!) assumptions, but in all some very good points.
