I'm an iPhone user and I think flash is an out of date code.

Excellent, I knew it would happen before long

[I dont know Tunnie - who does pay for music ?
I have never paid for it personally, but I dont steal it either - and I dont have to put up with ads.

[Banjax]

Who pays for a music anyway 

People who arent thieves ? :-/

About 10% of the young population then 

Crime has moved on, its no longer about nicking a CD from HMV (well the dumb-ass chavs do)

95% of people i know torrent their music, films and TV shows. Big Bang Theory for example, I have download episodes and watch it before its even aired on the East cost of the USA   

But on the legal side..

http://www.spotify.com/uk/

Millions of tracks, on demand, for free, nothing, sod all! Just put up with an advert every 5 tracks.

You key in almost any artist, track, album from recent times, its there. Streaming in excellent quality for free.

So again, who pays for music? 

and 20 years down the line when you'll have nothing to listen to as it wont be worth recording music anymore - good plan

what about watching Sky online free - thats OK too then ?

That's about what most of it is worth.

Neither do I, press the button marked mute on my keyboard

I also dont admit to being a thief/criminal on a public forum.

U2 are massive because they've been touring since the early 80's and before, they've had massive record company budgets to promote their albums and tours, i'm aware of the business model involved in tours, but you've picked arguably the biggest band on the planet - its the hapless penniless artists coming out now i feel for T 

p.s. careful Tunnie, you know how much Uncle Rupert likes to listen in

Sorry, but i think you've got it completely wrong. Now is the best time for such artists, before you had to get a record lable to sign you up (you had to pass auditions for music, they think was good), up front costs for mass production of CD's.... list goes on.

Now? just upload a track online.

I went to see this lovely girl at the O2 in Shepards Bush:

http://www.lissie.com/

I only discovered her, after seeing the advert when you start it. Clicked, listened, enjoyed!

So much so i spent £20 on a gig ticket.....

I've also done the same with Two Door Cinema club, discovered it via Spoitfy, going to a gig in March...

So quite frankly, every one who says music is dead, internet is killing it and all that cobblers, its rubbish!

There have never been more bands around.

This may be a bit young for most of you old farts

Only the brain dead use torrents now. But as torrents have very little legal use, not discussion here

No. In the good old days, when men were men, and students were toffs (as no other tinker could afford NOT to work), wannabe musicians did the pubs, clubs and local centres.  Aylesbury Civic Centre - my old hunting ground - used to busy every week with unheard of bands that grew to massive groups.


Trouble is, the toffs have insisted that pubs become restuarants, and therefore no live music, clubs only do bongo bongo shite, and all the local centres have closed down due to council inefficiencies.
