well, yeah, I was making the point that I think there will still be kids buying stuff coming through, I didnt mean in a mass-market kind of sense. I'm talking about it in relevance to us/the list. and, while numbers will obviously diminish as time goes on, there will always be people who want records, or cd's of this music. >Disagree, they don't know any different and more to the point they don't >really care - tough but that's the way they are. They don't see it as >rebellion at all - they don't give a toss about it - they don't even think >about it. this wasnt in reply to my comment, but I think you're generalising a whole generation. There's as many people of our generation who couldnt give a toss either, a copied tape or cd is more than enough for them - or just listening to the radio. Of course the majority of kids are like this - but, what I was trying to say is that within that generation, there's a new generation of kids who will care about music as a passion as we do. admittedly, its a really tiny minority, but it always has been a tiny majority. and rest assured the large scale music industry will find a way to sell their products to the kids and collect the revenues. whether this is via mp3 or whatever downloadable format, or via a hard copy of something, I have no idea, but they'll still be consuming it and paying for it. alex _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
