 Re: How Has P2P Effect Music?
The problem is, msuic has become another form of merchandise, something to listen to while wearing your brand-name clothes, walking in your brand-name shoes, and obsessing over what to get. Buying music (or what passes for it nowadays) has become the same to many as buying an Abercrombie sweater, just another way to show that you are cool. So, like the outrageous prices for clothing (Like paying $40 for a t-shirt that cost 50 cents to make), music prices have risen. Except, you can download and share music. So, people have fought back. I think that P2P is a good thing, because it will eventually force the labels to lower their prices in order to get people to stop sharing and start buying.
