live streaming via the Internet, VS burning your discs to files, or purchase of files to listen to disconnected from the Internets.
1. Streaming quality files requires faster bandwidth, (bigger files).
2. More bandwidth is more expensive, and will exclude many people.
3. Streaming sites will have to pay ISPs for priority packet speeds.
4. Streaming sites will not be able to afford it, or afford large files.
Both the consumer, and the provider are going down.
"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
