Your main man Bowie has an interesting take.
http://www.studioforrecording.org/mt/archive/000033.html ""I don't even know why I would want to be on a label in a
few years, because I don't think it's going to work by labels and by
distribution systems in the same way," he said. "The absolute
transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will
take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop
it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it's not going to
happen. I'm fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no
longer exist in 10 years, and authorship and intellectual property is
in for such a bashing."
