We see a bright future for the music industry and music lovers. The internet will support retail sales by providing in depth coverage of artists and their music, giving music fans the tools they want to make an informed purchase. People will be exposed to artists and music that would have otherwise remained unknown. Music that is not carried by local retailers will be available through mail order and direct digital download. Artists will enjoy a world wide audience. Fans will be able to have direct input to the labels, thereby affecting label policy decisions and influencing the future course of music. Likewise, the artists will have a direct line of communication with their audience.
Overall, more people will be able to enjoy more music more often. What a wonderful world this could be.
