Let’s fix the imbalance in the world

I was thinking about how to encourage good music the other day and I had a brainwave!
If we pirated ALL music and didn’t pay for it, regardless of whether we liked it or not, the artists would be forced to tour in order to make money. Thus, all the bad artists which are electronically enhanced would eventually fold as people would be craving actual entertainment! If Micheal Jackson wasn’t so messed up it would be the perfect time for a comeback!
It would get to the point were no cd’s were being released and the music industry went bankrupt trying to sue EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD! I’m sure they’d try. Then, out from the crumbling ashes the good artists would emerge, playing hugely successful shows and would start releasing media so that people could continue to enjoy the music after the gig. They’d incorporate the media into ticket prices as they know that no one will buy music anymore, and thus the music industry will be saved by pirating!
Fanciful, yup. Could it work? Maybe. It’d sure be fun to see what happened though if the entire world stopped buying music overnight

If there’s any bands out there who read this, leave a comment, I’d be interested to find out how much it costs to make a CD. Could it be practical to include one in the price of a show? I know I’d be keen if I got a CD out of it (or even a preloaded flash drive )
