I Believe the only money to be made in preforming music (If that's what your interests in making music are) Is to be made from Merchandise and touring alot. Its far to easy to download full albums, i find myself in HMV Or One-Up and as im buying an album and waying up how much i can afford to spend per week and then think to myself, "I Could buy this CD, or i could have a night out with friends instead," A perfect Example of this is Set Your Goals new Album "This Will Be The Death Of Us," its currently steaming on myspace, and Ive head that i like a few tunes, i know its not out for a few weeks or so, but all i have to do it search "This will be the death of us blogspot download" in Google and along as i have a WinRAR Extractor then i can have it within a half hour. I Believe that as much as the industry wants technological advances, it gets Pissy when these new Techs make it easy to steal music, still many people will buy there favorite bands CD's, but they are not prepared to wait when they can get it now, and for free.
