People really feel like music is free but will pay $6 for water. You can drink water free out of the tap, and it's good water. But they're OK paying for it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Because I don't believe music can be free unless it has something to be free from.
I mean, the way I see it is, every penny I've ever made through music is free money.
The marketers can compete with free; it just has to be better. Look at bottled water if you don't believe me.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't think music should be free.
Kids are taking music for free all the time. They have Spotify, Pandora... The record companies aren't making the kind of music that they used to make. Artists make their money on tours, not from album sales.
Just as infinite access to free music ultimately leads to no one making a living at music anymore, free journalism just doesn't pay for itself - particularly not when a search engine is serving all the ads.
I always tell people, 'The music's free. I get paid to travel.'
If there's a choice between tap water and bottled water, the consumer can make that choice. In a very large geography in the world, that choice does not exist.
The main reason people want to pay for Spotify is really portability. People are saying, 'I want to have my music with me.'
This isn't about the money. This is just for me. I love music.
