yeah very good point..

i think the benefits of the internet however do outway the negatives.. music, such as techno, that has a pre dominantly "underground" following has benefited i would argue more than any other art form.. But this is mainly the fualt of the music industry and the markets as a whole... In terms of information for the average techno junkie the market was failing to provide, most modern record stores are full of pop/rock etc. because it's marketable and it, sadly, has a larger following, and in business those too facets rule... The internet however has given me and all of us access to music prior to the internet i would argue we would have very rarely heard.. I can access detailed information on most of the youngest producers/dj's on the scene and that is what sways me in favour..

granted an offshoot of this has been that we have to filter out a lot of crap, but haven't we always? god knows were surrounded by bullshit in our day to day lives in terms of music...
