I’d love to see this in context of investment in bands/albums that didn’t recoup their investments. How that system came to prominence, other competing strategies and how those investment decisions were made probably maintains relevance. The “invest in a vast array of possibilities to make money off a few” is an interesting model that is being bandied about for the energy crisis, and in another field, seems to be working pretty well for terrorists.
What can be learned from how this model worked and didn’t is a whole lot more interesting than making fun of a moribund industry. But, yeah, it’s still sorta fun to laugh at them.
cd’s were hilarious.
I’d love to better understand this data. Something tells me it isn’t quite right.
