Jayson, Your forgetting another large point, not only must every DJ spend a large chunk of money on records and equipment already, but in order to utilize final scratch you have to have a mid ranged laptop, the software and the hardware. To many DJ's adding another $2000-3000 to the already large equipment list will probably deter most local and small time DJ's getting into something like this. It will be a long time before Final Scratch becomes the norm for a party or a club. FS' audience is limited to high paid DJ's and tech headz. Record labels don't really make money off large name DJ's (since most get a bunch of stuff on promo), and tech headz are probably already using Traktor to mix mp3's.
