What's the difference between staring at a movie downloaded to an iPod and staring at a movie on Pay-per-View TV? People don't actually have to be together to share a communal artistic experience. People read novels alone. People listen to music alone. People even buy art and hang it on their walls and admire it alone. Sheesh. You know, Conservatives always say that a debate with a liberal is effectively over when the Liberal calls the Conservative a Nazi. I've got another rule of thumb: an article, ostensibly NOT about the music industry, is effectively rendered meaningless when the author resorts to a superfluous iPod reference simply to seem hip.
