James here.....
MP3's may totally change music how music is sold. The record lables may be
cut out of the picture. Artists can record and then sell from their own
websites. At the least new artists can get their music out there and get
directly paid w/o the steep record lable cut off the top. The internet may
make da facto industries like long distance and record lables a thing of
the past.
