It's a heck of a lot slower than typing. They are quoting 25wpm whereas a reasonable typist can easily make 40wpm, and a good touch-typist anything up to 100 or so. I last tested at 92.
Take a look at www.janisian.com and follow the links via 'articles' to 'The Internet Debacle' and the follow-up article. Janis is a performer who has ver strong feelings about the music industry and who has discovered that the more she makes her songs available for free download, the more official recordings she sells.
It is perfectly legal for me to copy my own music, performed by me and recorded in my own studio, and pass it to whomever I please. The proposed 'safeguards' which the media wants to build into all computers, recording devices etc will prevent me from doing precisely that.
Good heavens, not even 30:-O Speaking as a 47 year old dinosaur I'm glad to say that my brain, curiosity and musical sense of adventure have not yet ceased to function. I am however reluctant to spend vast sums of money on commercial CDs when I know only to well how much of a rip-off the industry is.
