I am reminded of the outcry from the live-musicians over player-pianos, 
back in the day (ok, ok...not evoking a personal memory, I've /read/ 
about it).  The people who made their living going around and playing 
the piano for people to sing along with weren't faced with a diminished 
market.  So...we've come full-circle.  There's no income in the /idea/ 
of the music, you have to make it a limited commodity.  By doing a live 
performance.
