Feargal Sharkey

"Feargal gave a talk last night on the state of the music industry at the Mandrake Club. Unfortunately it left me feeling fairly disillusioned...Feargal said much about the people who are losing money due to piracy, but had no ideas to share on how to solve this problem.
In Q&A I asked him whether the music industry might be better off focusing on selling scarce items (especially public appearance) rather than abundant items (such as digital artifacts, which can be shared without loss). Hat tip to JP for these ideas, by the way, I got them from him. Feargal ignored the point and said that the primary reason people make music is to make a living. citation from Flickr user Phillie Casablanca[1])
