You say MP3s are super low quality? Kids these days don't know what they're missing?

If true, that should boost the value of actual CDs, music on DVDs, and *especially* live performances.

Business model: give away the MP3s. Sell lots of CDs cheap. Sell DVD music and concert tickets for a premium, the real fans will pay for it.

Or you could go on suing everyone to stay afloat.

Just a thought anyway.

I don't care as much about Mars as the idea of a permanent moon base. I want to go to the moon sometime in my lifetime, and setting-up a permanent base would be the first step towards being able to allow tourism.

I am pleased that you "deleted" what appears to be a misuse of the word looser, which means "less tightly fitted." Context would indicate that a more appropriate word is loser. It's a good thing you corrected the error.
