Youtube killed the radio star

Live gigs

why do people put money in the red box when they can stream any movie for free, that's a better question.

as for youtube, it is a PITA to use, always bombarding you with unwanted annotations and autoplay even when you turned them off in your viewing settings, and trying to steer you into watching whatever is popular. All "pewdipie" this and "top 10" that and makes you wait until it all loads before you type anything in the search bar.

1. Because they're honest, unlike you.

2. Because they want HQ/BlueRay

3. Because they want to rip it to a hard drive.

Old people

honesty has nothing to do with the real market value of a product, i.e. how much it's worth when there isn't a law propping up its price.

like it or not, the concept of copyright has run its course. It was necessary when publishing was expensive and difficult, but now it's cheap and easy. Ideas themselves never had commodity value, only the paper they were printed on did. People aren't going to continue paying someone to distribute them something that can distribute itself around the world in a fraction of a second for free.

Although downloadable movies are generally compressed like music is, they are widely available in HD. So why people use redbox is still a better question. The answer is that the economy is founded on frivolous transactions and waste, and old habits die hard. But it's just a matter of time.

I've never used redbox. The last time I rented a movie was from blockbuster... in 2004. I've purchased only a single cd since graduating college 4 years ago. I get all this for free on the internet. People saying youtube is a pita aren't wrong, but its still easier than opening up itunes or spotify and finding something I like. Those try to steer you to whats popular too.

If you use google chrome just install ad blocker plus..

Indeed it has. Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars was a monster hit on the radio as well as online with over 650 million views

Yet Billboard estimates that, to date, "Uptown Funk" has made about $840,000 in publishing revenue. When you slice the money up among the record companies and songwriters...well you do the math.

1. gigs live (mentioned)

2. merchandise

3. Appearances

4. licensing (they still have their music used in products for sale, which is more strictly enforced)

5. ring tones

6. black jack/roulette wheel?

Hans Zimmer was the keyboardist in the video that kicked off MTV.
