Your very last line kinda hits the nail on the head.
'Better' is debatable. More economical, more profitable? maybe.
I think it comes down to value adding.
People will pay a premium for a hand built car, or to visit a four star restaurant rather than a fast food joint.
What we are seeing now is a feeding frenzy in the music industry.
People want it free, and they don't seem to care much about the quality.
Once the novelty wears off, then quality will become a factor.
This is why we need to resist being wiped out by the 'new business' brigade for as long as we can, so really good creative people can pick up the pieces of the cheap as chips scenario we have now and sell quality going forward.
