The sharing of mp3s over the internet is a very positive development both for consumer's and artists. Although the record companies are not too thrilled about this technology, the traditional parties involved in music(musician's and listeners) should take comfort:
In my opinion the incorporation and mass production of music and art in general has not only cheapened and diluted musical content but also jaded it.
Prior to the 20th century, only the well-to-do could afford the luxury of music which even they indulged infrequently. Common folk heard very little music. The gift remained pure and special. Today we are submerged in rapidly fermenting bath of audio-visual mayhem. The laws of capitalism have reduced our experience of music to reflect Joe Public's tastes. This is not ideal in a declining empire who's majority consists of an unconscious, rottenly spoiled middle class suburban mob. Just a cursory glance at lyrics from Slipknot, Brittany Spears and any rap artist, unveils a mutiny of God, love and the values that have sustained human life for eons. It is almost like the devil himself has recruited and disguised his demons to entertain us into hell.
The machine that sponsors this anarchy is money. Mp3 and cdr take much of the profit out of the equation. This throws a serious monkey wrench into a system that glorifies, promotes and tours artists that have sparse talent and an agenda. It also clears the path for actual artists with talent to deliver their REAL music and hopefully positive message to listeners that are sick of the waste product that is much of popular music.
No longer will the agents of doom and middle men of record companies reap 90% of our hard earned money. No longer will a tainted message be delivered to our children. The musicians, if talented and to our liking, will be rewarded. The cost of making and distributing music will be drastically reduced. The artists, who will not be in it just for the money, will survive. Innovation will be unchained. WE WILL NOT HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE SAME OLD CRAP REPACKAGED OVER AND OVER!
God shares freely.
