Brian:

I see what you're saying. In fact, I saw it the first time you said it, but just as you and Michael and many others want to see the model change, there are those, some of whom are very rich and powerful, who will do whatever they can to maintain the status quo.

I'm no expert on filters, though I did draft a patent application for applying filters to cigarettes for Philip Morris years ago, but I do know this - there will never be a replacement model for a luxury office with gold and platinum records hanging on every inch of wall space and a drop dead receptionist smiling just inside the door. Call it a shrine to success in the music busines or whatever, I love walking inside just to visit.

That's what I would miss most with the filtered musical freedom of choice coming from all directions model...
