Yes: Performing, DJing, Commercials, Licensing, Merchandise (If only Aphex twin would've sold t-shirts like the Come to Daddy Tee i won! And could you imagine the Opportunity for "windowlicker" tees/posters? And better yet, can you imagine the confusion caused to the parents and friends of students who would wear "windowlicker" tees? I would have jumped at that chance in high school. Whoops: I digress. Look at how well the "windowlicker" calendar sold. I doubt there was ever before a market for "import calendars."). Eventually, free digital music could be a way of advertising for an artist's services (production), songs (like for soundtracks & commercials), live performances, CDs and records (i still like holding physical objects with actual artwork), and most of all, T-Shirts and Posters. And of course, that all works the other way too (merch, performances, etc advertise the actual music), all this does is eliminate the money made on one side of the equation. _________________________________ Adam Roesch / xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx Augsburg College / Minneapolis / MN / USA http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/ The world's most complete Pork Recordings/Fila Brazillia site: http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/pork/ "The only disease we need in our blood is love" TRICKY
