“Things you can learn from the music business (as it falls apart)
The first rule is so important, it’s rule 0:
0. The new thing is never as good as the old thing, at least right now.
Soon, the new thing will be better than the old thing will be. But if you wait until then, it’s going to be too late. Feel free to wax nostalgic about the old thing, but don’t fool yourself into believing it’s going to be here forever. It won’t.”
Several points raised:
“0. The new thing is never as good as the old thing, at least right now.”
“1. Past performance is no guarantee of future success”
“2. Copy protection in a digital age is a pipe dream”
