>So basically what you are saying is that the truckers should get with the times but the artist shouldn't?
You're playing a game that has nobody's interests at hand.
Yes I'm saying this because 'truckers' are going to get left behind. You still haven't answered the question of whether we should live in the digital age or not.
>Let me remind you that the kind of artists that actually have spent many years becoming good have always been struggling and always needed to do live gigs.
You're playing a game against my argument.
All artists struggle but do you want them to become eternally poor?

Do you or many know the difference? Are most making the distinction and buying indie products? I can already tell that they are not.
I lived as a musician for some years. I think I have a pretty good understanding on how it works and I am playing no game at all.
Plus I have both a product out (cost money), a service out (free), have a design agency.
I don't say that artist shouldn't make money. I think they should when they work. But claiming that it's somehow a right for musicians to keep reaping the benefits of digital distribution but not those related to it, is in my mind wrong and not serving the anyone.
Truckers and musicians who don't conform to the new reality is going to be left behind.
It's really that simple. Of course they will try and get the government to protect their interest and it will have people helping them defend that.
But it's not a fair game.
And artist neither are nor will be eternally poor. It's a poor argument. There will always be people who make money on their creations, they will just have to do it differently than what we do today.
Technology is always a double edged sword. No one, not even artist can escape that.
