When I started in 1986, first full time paid job, it was very difficult to get into this business, I entered as a musician with some computer skills and balls, most others had to be grads from an audio engineering program. I had some experience as a "producer" which meant I was basically an arranger for artists who liked the way I played around town and wanted a little help, I got to know the studio like this. I learned the tech side (which has now almost entirely disappeared) on my first job and carried that with me until 94 (after 94 the only aligning I did was to adjust the outs on a dolby SR24 to Converter inputs)
I wonder what most newcomers to this field bring. Not many jobs to be had I guess. Live seems the same as always, you work there or you don't.
There are a lot of causes and I agree that it's not 'only' piracy, but it sure is frustrating. Domino theory, throw one down and they all tumble
For me, it's something I do very well, but I've had my share of back stabbing too, and I've shot myself in the foot a few times. Hard times don't allow for this
