State of the Music Industry (and then there are data plans)

The New Music Seminar is a conference that attempts to show what's going on in the present-day music industry - not what certain parties WISH was going on, or LONG FOR what HAD BEEN going on, or pontificate about what SHOULD BE going on. NMS, like a few other conferences, aspires to SAY or REFLECT what's going on and where things are likely, or could be, headed.30. Technology threatens business as usual until it becomes business as usual.31. Music and the arts have always intersected with law, business, technology and communication. It has always been this way. It will always be this way. (forever and ever)32. The Internet is your friend. Walk away from those who fear the Internet and technology. Fear them (no, pity, educate and then ignore them) and not the Internet.
