Then again, one could say Lazy people sell as well. Take for instance the music industry and all the tragic excited talk about it taking a dive due to the illegal downloading music. Have we really thought about what this means for the musicians? They still want to make their money, and people still want music. So how are they gonna do it?...wait...wait for it....hmm....perhaps the old fashion way...with a twist.
Thats right, with DVD sales being dramatically reduced, and the selling of individual songs on iTunes not quite cutting the mark, musicians are heading back on the road and back to their fans in a more direct route. Not only are concerts and touring becoming once again the major money maker, but the lack of recorded sales means they are racking their brains trying to think of new innovative ideas to get people to by their goods.
For instance, the beautiful young girl...ahem excuse me...I was just whispered I somehow had his gender wrong, lets try this again... young boy that HE is, Justin Bieber, sold his CD's by making an unheard of offer. One CD would be sold that has a Golden Ticket (Willy Wonka style) to win the good fortune of having the one and only Justin Bieber cook breakfast for them in their own home. Now which true fan would illegally download his music when they could have the chance to have their idol cooking them a morning meal?
The point here, is that people always have, and always will, take advantage of one system or another. However if you look on the bright side, this forces change. For the music industry, illegal downloads means, not a failure of the music industry, but a revamping of the current model of sales. It means being less lazy, and using the brain cells that haven't been destroyed through drug, sex, and rock and role, and finding ways to making people crave spending their money, once again, on their music.
Illegal downloads mean breakfast's with your favorite dreamy icon just became a reality.
Put that way...is it really such a bad things?
