It hits the nail on the head! Labels need to stop whining about the fact young people are unwilling to pay for music and actually work out a way that will engage with them and make them willing to pay for music again. perhaps teaming up with music promoters and giving away CDs at concerts whilst getting a larger share of ticket sales may be a way forward? Albeit in my mind that would further devalue recorded music in the eyes of the consumer/music fan. I will be adding your blog to my blog roll as I like it lots. Would be great to get your thoughts on my blog: http://themusicvoid.com Also I have hosted a panel at CMW for the last two years and will hopefully being doing so next year as well. I think you may like this article on my blog: http://themusicvoid.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/why-do-record-labels-spend-so-much-on-marketing-to-the-younger-demographic-with-the-lowest-disposable-income-instead-of-adults-with-a-larger-disposable-income/ Cheers, Jakomi I like this post.
