Most 20 year olds and such, just download their music, and a lot get it from sites for free. I know people I work with were laughing at me when i told them i was going to buy a Haley cd for them. They were like, "I can get it online".
And I stood there saying we had to support Haley, and purchase the cd not get the music for free. I must say though, I never cared or thought about doing this in the past.
Excellent point Babbs, as I mentioned before in another thread, the younger generation does not buy music or movies. My son has hundreds of music cds and movies he has burned for free. He does not have one cd that he has purchased. All my nephews and nieces in their 20s are the same way.
What does this say about Haley's ability to sell her music? Is there any tracking mechanism for Haley's downloads that are not paid for? I doubt it. This factor has to be huge in the music industry. It's why you heard some of the older musicians going psycho about the phenomenon years ago...how they were being ripped off. Technology has reinvented the word 'entertainment' these days. "If it's on online...It's free, because I paid for my internet service (maybe)..." what the younger generation would say.
