Music has never been, I don't think, ever more enjoyed than it is right now. That's the biggest irony of it all. If ever music was the soundtrack of people's lives, it is currently right now. The problem is very few people are making money on it. There's going to be a long stopgap between where we are right now and the position where artists and rights holders are being paid enough to actually continue to do it. That's the sticking point: we need to figure out how we get from here to there. Everyone's made some very good suggestions as to a start at least.
