When file sharing of music first started the majority of people still bought music to support the artists. If you talked to people on Napster they we're there to discover new music. But with all the lawsuits attempts to restrict consumer rights overly restrictive DRM claims by millionaires that they are poor etc.. People stopped caring and started to really get pissed off to the point where file sharing became a form of protest. Now you have people uploading music for the sole purpose of affecting the sales of the big 4. If they would of been more open more willing to work with filesharing the industry may have been salvaged. From what I can tell now the future will be in artist promoting distributing and developing their music themselves. No label no producer no manager music will become a small business for some with loans coming from the bank.

Game developers should focus on quality games and not soely on how much can we make mentality. Of course the same is true with the music industry. The studios will recruit or create fly by night talent to simply turn a buck quality and real talent is often left on the wayside. Maybe if file sharing ends their monopoly of restricting genuine talent from emerging we might see more raw talent appear in our lifetimes.
