Hey – I just stumbled across this blog post whilst vanity surfing! Thanks. 3 things:

a) stuff tends to get commoditised in a way that relationships/services just don’t
b) yes, server farms require lots of energy but i wasn’t just talking about online/freemium business models
c) yes my mum listened to music too but ws less into it than my dad. what happened in 1972 was they started having kids which seems to have had a similar impact om my music purchasing too. no reason why we can’t consume music into our old age.

Thanks again anyway.
Cheers,
Roland
