I am not that familiar with how succesfull the shareware system is, but would it be plausible for artitists to market their music this way? Personally I would have no problem sending $5 to some guy if I downloaded and liked his music. This would also be a lot more than they would normally make selling an album.
I agree with you whole heartedly about our societies currently "punk" kids. I also think that they are a very accurate display of the current state of our society. I think it is a result of generations of kids not being listend to, being told that eventually they'll get it, or one of these day's you'll realize.... Now they've given up, acting out in the only other way's that they know. I think many of the ideas kids have about right and wrong should be heeded because they have not yet been conformed or "tainted", if you will, by the "system" (i know it's a worn out buzzword). But then agian i'm still a punk teenager who will eventually understand that i was wrong, but for now i'm not buyin it.
