– The Music Industry’s Last Stand Will Be A Music Tax Economics aside (I majored in Economics), the idea of a music model supported by concerts and merchandise makes little rationale sense to me. I listen to music 24 hours a day - at home, everywhere I go in Manhattan, the car in Miami, the gym. For...
