Music is an information good, stored on media for playback. Too often we lose sight of the content in admiring the technology. Musicians don t make CDs or press vinyl. They make music that is somehow transported from their lips to your ears. The music itself is of value to the extent that it is experienced.
Music is an experience good.
If I hear it ten times, its worth more, and is building a brand. We can teach it free with mp3. This book is part of a series of brilliant works over the last few years that have enriched my life. This body of work makes a clear case for any technology or delivery system that can distribute unlimited samples of an experience good with zero reproduction costs. That is the only question left at the end of the day.
