You're right, of course. Unfortunately, this applies to a lot more fields than just music performance, and society is really going to struggle to sort out living in the post-scarcity economy. Also, the-once revolutionary "long tail" now makes choice so individualistic, and effectively arbitrary, that it's hard to capitalize on any particular genre or act.

Sales of recorded music are way down but every other part of the music industry has grown. If this is the pattern that other fields follow, then we're all going to be rich!

Has there ever been a better time to be a musician than now?
