The music industry is at best a 100 year old historical anomaly compared to the at least 4000 year history of music.
Well, we care about "popular recorded music" as last century knew it and that's a dying art form.
I'm sure Gregorian Chants and Peruvian Flute Music will continue to be written.
That's not what people complain about dying. People want Elvis, Beatles, Iggy Pop, Talking Heads, Madonna, Beastie Boys, Metallica etc -- with all the externalities that the way of them producing and selling music had.
