The recovery of the arts economy is lagging well behind the rest of the economy. And how much of this is due to the growing idea that music and literature should be free on the internet? Because, that’s bulls–t.

Is Amazon even a good business? Not everyone thinks so. Maybe the model sucks. That would suck in a way: brick and mortar killed by a model that turned out to be bad and, presumably, unsustainable.

Maybe. But it would be nice to see both of them survive. But certainly, if, as the highlander says, there can be only one, I’d like it to be indies.
