i believe like anything in our world, progress, innovation and technology
can make things better, easier, or at least get people thinking different.
many humans get locked into "this is the way it is so this is the way it has
to be" way of thinking and go through life with blinders on. it's the
innovators that seem to excel.
finalscratch may force independant label's and artist to think, work, or
promote differently. who knows what kind of products can be created to
compliment or expand finalscratch too. should be an exciting time for djs.
does anyone know when the official release date is?

i think the idea of this technology is fantastic. however, what i am
wondering is what this is going to do to the independent record label
industry. use of mp3s right now doesn't currently affect them as much as
it does the major record labels. but what this is going to do is
discourage buying vinyl. (at least that is how i see it.) all you have to
do is basically find a track online or find a friend with that record and
rip an mp3. it's going to cause a lot of producers to not make any money.
i wonder how much people are going to start fighting within the dance
music community after this becomes readily available. i personally think
that final scratch is going to be pretty popular and that after it gets
some more attention, it's going to be utilized by more and more people,
especially after they see that it works so well. it's just also a question
of people supporting their artists and buying the vinyl still. (which
is something that i would still be doing if i really really wanted a
certain track...it would cause a lot less of that "ooooh why did i buy
THAT?" syndrome that i occasionally get here and there if i used final
scratch and just had an mp3 of the track.)
i dunno...i'm just going to sit back and watch and see how people start
changing their minds on the mp3 argument when it starts affecting THEM.
