Do you really REALLY want to know the state of the CD ["hardcopy"] industry???
In last night's Evening Standard (UK) a most interesting article appeared called "Return to sender could put HMV in heartbreak hotel". I strongly suggest a read of this. It's here. After your short read, come back to this blog (this page/tab will remain open), and share your thoughts.
My own thought: This does not mean that clever artists still can't make reasonable $£$£ in our whack industry by selling their product from their websites, and at live appearances. (Done skillfully the latter can produce handsome dividends.) The hypermarkets may be further exploiting the older more established artists (in conjunct with their record companies) - but today's market has plenty of room for profit - if you do it right!
Talk to me . . .
