Well the whole industry has to change really. The concept of a manufactured Super Star act is going to go away. You'll still get super star acts but they'll be more organic I suppose and far more middle of the road acts who earn a living wage doing what they do but not much more than that. It's interesting times for music, both good and bad. And I think the Western centered world will die as well - rock, rap etc will start losing market share more and more as global artists really gain more noteriety and different revenue streams open up. My p[al has been in one of the premeire detah metal bands fo rthe last 20 years - a niche act - but estableshed and he tells me they make enough to fund the band recording and touring, but he makes his living wage from owning a couple of truck delivery routes. I'm guessing that's the future of most acts...label supported livelhoods are going to disappear...
