If people hear your music and like it they will more than likely go to your show if they can afforded it. The internet has helped me keep and increase my passion for different artists. I will go to their shows. Especially Steve Vai's. W/out the internet that would not be the case. People stuck in the olden times have to adapt to the fact that it's probably going to be free like this for a long while. Hopefully forever. You can't police all the internet.
"You hear so much about the old movie moguls and the impersonal factories where there is no freedom. MGM was a wonderful place..." -James Stewart, Wayne, Jane Ellen. The Leading Men of MGM. New York: Carroll & Graf Publishers, 2004. ISBN 0-78671-475-1. (wikipedia reference, James Stewart) But Stewart was also enough of a gambler to become one of the first independently contracted actors. He knew his worth, and was bright enough, and gutsy enough, to make fair commerce. We have to do the same.
As far as music goes getting it for free on the internet can help increase concert sales. Also TV, radio, the other stuff, is still making money through advertising. For instance, Hulu plays commercials. Well Coca cola and wal-mart pay to have their stuff pushed. There are places that are doing things like that illegally, but the quality is typically pretty low, so I think a lot of people still stick to Hulu and places like it, which are paying the shows through advertising.
If you acquire the product of someone else's work at no cost to you it doesn't mean it's worthless. It means it was either freely given to you or you are a thief. The internet is like a hurricane that destroyed the structures that held all the goods, and filesharing is the masses indescriminately hauling stuff off the shelves and out to the street as if they had a right to it. That isn't freedom, it's anarchy. Structure and limitation is necessary to a free society.
Also I think that "the man" sucked. Steve Vai tried to get a recording deal with Sony. Sony would have taken half the profit and all the royalties. Record companies typically give out shit deals. Now people can distribute their music for free with the internet and use the new home recording studios to make their own stuff independant of the man. Steve Vai now has a lot more than he would have if he would have signed with sony because of increased freedom because of increased technology

"Truth is expensive" indeed!
Livingston is absolutely correct here. As creative artists, this is the definitive question of our time.
But how?

I think Livingston missed that we are paying for internet. Internet access at home costs anywhere from 40 to 150 dollars.
hes referring to CONTENT providers being compensated, not the SERVICE provider which we pay for through Comcast, and Spectrum and At& T etc

@AmericanDawei passionate
Livingston; you said: "I'm not Very Bright." i think you are too bright for your own good!
Uyyyy
Who's truth? Think about it.....
