Perhaps what he is referring to (just a guess) is the content of the songs themselves. It's one thing to sell a song which says "screw the man" (be it respect for authority or traditional values) but quite another to be the man being screwed.
If the world is full of people creating music, and some do it for profit and some do it for love, what do you think will be left when the people doing it for profit leave the scene?
Um, less talented musicians?
LOL! How many of the albums with a million+ sales are from really talented musicians?
While the talent of many of the pop musicians is questionable, the production value does make a big difference (especially in pop music). If artists can't afford quality producers or studio time, the overall recording quality and indirectly the musical quality will suffer. (Spoken as an independent artist)
This is Interesting??? I would think that anyone here older than 25 had at least a Commodore 64 in the mid-80s if not a 286 clone, no? Hardly only a "huge" thing at that point! Am I missing something here?
What no one seems to have mentioned is that at least with email you can employ spam filters which do text searches and pattern matches, along with other spam-recognition techniques. It seems impossible that VoIP spam could be filtered this way, thus leading to a glut of voicemail spam which could threaten the viability of VoIP altogether, if the spammers can find a way to do it without being detected.

You mean aluminium :)
I don't have any mod points, but that's pretty darn creative!
If you stop buying their records, that will give them further evidence that piracy leads to loss of revenue!

I'm always afraid of it falling in or getting wet! It happened to a calculator of mine once...
This is a troll, right??
Is there a +1 tragicomic rating?

Sorry, Troll, that's just disgusting. There's a way to physically discipline your kids in love without being a monster about it.

As "funny" as this is, you also have to thank pesticides for those nice clean apples etc., or they really would have bugs in them
Now that's what I call a summary!
There you go — parents shouldn't complain when they ask their kids what they learned that day, and they say "nothing!"
I guess no one else got the Calvin & Hobbes reference...
