According to Bowie, rock musicians better get used to a lot of touring. Well, that's the ONLY way most rock musicians make money. Even if you get signed by a major label, they are under no obligation to promote your band. YOU have to promote YOUR OWN music BY TOURING. And you had better get on it, because you have to pay back that big advance the record company floated you to buy new equipment, which you needed for all the TOURING you're going to be doing! Also, I've been in three rock bands, and made lots of IMHO excellent original music, and never turned a significant profit. So I guess people will make music for reasons other than insatiable greed.
It would be better if no software were distributed.
When Comcast took over for Excite at Home, they forced all users to download the MS suite of programs. The only way I could find out what the new server settings were was from the Outlook Express preferences. And the Comcast member services page is only viewable with IE. I called them to complain that all versions of Netscape gave a javascript error. I was told that Netscape 4.9 worked. A trip to the Netscape download site revealed there is no such version!
