The File-Sharing Debates
By DAVID POGUE
Published: October 9, 2003

Finally, this intriguing note arrived from a guy who’s both a software
engineer and a musician in two bands: “It’s my belief that music CDs
will soon be given away free. The CD will become promotional material to
advertise a band’s live shows and merchandise for sale. Space inside the
CD cover could even be sold for advertising.

“This will have several results: First, bands will reduce the cost of
producing a CD by making use of the incredible capabilities of your
average digital recording system to avoid the ridiculous hourly prices
that professional recording studios charge. (Next week my band is doing
this very thing.) Self-production will become the norm.

“Second, CDs will become shorter, more focused and released more
frequently. (‘See us on tour next month at these locations! Hear these
four songs performed live!’) Third, bands will perform live far more
often and venues for live music will see a resurgence in popularity.”

>From your mouth to the RIAA’s ear, buddy. "
