No matter how you cut it, modern technology has helped the musician at the expense of the executive producer. The profits to be had in the years to come are going to come from live performances, not from album sales. Musicians will need plenty of help planning their tours and selling out amphitheaters, but the album has finally been set into its rightful hand: that of the creator, the musician.

One has to wonder how soon we’ll see a new service that allows artists to sell tracks for whatever their fans would like to pay. Such a service could give the RIAA a run for its money while leaving even more at the hands of those who have most earned it: the artists.
