Sup Cutups!
Glad to see SOMEONE is trying to still have some dialogue around here...
Personally, I'm not that in favor of the idea. See, I really like THINGS. I
like to hold them, look at them, make them. I think that the idea of a MP3
subscription works very well with the idea of the internet/information as a
utility (ie: like water, heat, elect.) And I like the idea that an artist
could get paid for exactly how much usage they would get, but there's
something a bit off about the non-material nature of this proess. Does this
process alreday exist? -yes. Do many people burn MP3's almost exclusively?
-Yes.
I just don't prefer it...
But we all need more t-shirts!!! So get crackin'on those Wrecked designs
ASAP!
