    Lady Gaga is still making money.



    Suffering? More like a death rattle. The video game industry made triple that of the music giants in 2009. Moreover, the movie industry broke $10b domestic (US & Canada) in box office alone.



    I suppose the housing market is just suffering a little bit as well?



    In this day & age I can already stream nearly anything I want legally and for free.



    Lady Gaga is by no means a measure of the whole. There will always be someone raking in cash, but these days artists make most of their money from touring. I would say, in the traditional sense, that yes it is dead.

    ...and just like i did earlier in the thread, i would say that you're wrong... When something is "dead" it no longer exists, and the fact that iTunes has sold billions and billions of songs in the past few years proves that the music business still exists.. Suffering, yes, in decline, yes.. Dead, no.





    EDIT. ....and i never said suffering a "little bit," as in your above housing example trying to undermine or disprove my statement. I said "suffering," and yes, "suffering" is an accurate description. The industry is suffering...

    I was expecting much better work from Apple web designers. The slogan read ``come tomorrow' ' just a second before 16:00 Paris time.

    Oh, well, that iPhone alarm... We all know...
