heh, I have thoguht for a while now that the ability to record and then
sell ONE performance is the historical anomoly, the glitch in reality.

for thousands of years (before 1950ish) every artist on the planet
survived on their daily performance, but with the advent of recording..
you can do a handful of performances, record them, and live off them the
rest of your life.. this is nonsense.. no other industry operates on
those levels.... 

maybe its just the correction back to reality (file sharing making
recordings worthless, the pressure goes back onto your day to day
performances, infront of real people with real money)

just a thought.
