The success of this plan rests 100% on acceptance of this new music format in the same way that acceptance of the 3-minute track was the entry price to get in on the post-war radio boom.</p> <h3>How Free is "Free"</h3> <p>The idea is to reduce the production cost to subvert the <span class="caps">RIAA </span>argument that pop music creation costs must be recouped by CD sales, and by extension how bootlegging cuts the artist at their production cost funding level. Here's where the studios must play an innovative part, to take all this new-generation of recording/mixing equipment and instead of reaching ever higher into digital manipulations, to <em>expand</em> their repetoire to recreating the old one-shot live capture of the living sound.</p> http://blog.teledyn.com/node/1438#comments slay the RIAA Sat, 01 Nov 2003 07:12:54 -0500 mrG 1438 at http://blog.teledyn.com
