Because I'm not bashing or trolling anybody - you are.
People try to make serious answers to your "questions" but by the way you act afterwards you're not interested in answers, you're just trying to bait people.
And I had the thread closed because it was my thread and you ruined it.
I'm done. If you don't get anything I've said than I guess that's how it goes.
My quote from the article is about people who work on records, as in recording professionals making less money than they used too. Record Sales are DOWN dramatically. When there are less sales, there is less money to pay musicians and less musicians get hired, and of those who do get hired, they get paid less.
It's simple math.
The article goes on to explain how a lot of other creatives are suffering as well, which is all related to the trickle down effect of there being less money generated from the sale of professional creative works.
and yes, the "Internet" is addressed, and it's clear from the article the "internet" is central to the problems it is describing:
I think line is appropriate as well...
One thing we know for sure, is that just because distribution has been democratized, talent certainly has not been.
Done with you, too. If you don't get it, than that's how it goes. I see you are already trolling up the other thread. That's too bad. But it's your forum not mine.
Are all the Audio forums melting down !!! It's worse than the Euro crisis round here and all over the web what's going on ? Have the trolls won ? Or are there no Pro's left ...
I went looking for alternatives and found destruction everywhere :+(

Hoping for the best is naive, unless you continue to press your case and resist pressure to work for zip.
No business plan on the planet states "hoping for the best". The bank manager would fall over laughing.
No, if you're the best at what you do, they will come to you.
Ah, but the question is what will they do when they come?
Will they bring you something in return?
Or will they merely take what you've got and leave you standing in the dust?

It's true. You can make the best music (or software, or automobiles for that matte) but without proper promotion nobody will notice.
It's more the "you can't compete with free" argument.
The top music software is well promoted and well known, that doesn't prove people will buy it when a free version is available.
No one claims music software isn't as good as it was 5 to 10 years ago.
So it's a good product, widely understood and easy to obtain, but many still wont pay for it.

I may be wrong here, but IMO it seems that there is an increased awareness among certain groups of people that software needs to be supported and developed. Smaller developers like U-he and Camel Audio appear to be doing ok, and I know many people who were condoning certain activities in the late '90s which they no longer do so (and I count myself among the converted).
Perhaps this is drowned out by the massive uptake (and availability)of creative type software, and mass acceptance/brainwashing certain companies and shills engage in for less legal methods of acquisition, but despite this I believe all is not as bleak as in seems.
Perhaps at the moment for musicians things are dark, but hopefully the awareness some software developers have carved out via top notch products and support, may transfer into other sections of what is essentially now all the digital economy.
