Aaron,
If musicians won't fight for our own interests, who will?
Maybe the Virtual Orchestra Machine will put us all out of business one day. Who knows? That doesn't mean we have to take it lying down.

Yes, my analogy was not the best. Still, if changing market conditions leave us with a glut of professional musicians, I think it's not necessarily clear that we should artificially restrain those market changes (by banning the Sinfonia, for example) in order to preserve more jobs.
