> but hey, my Amazon or Spotify experience rocks and delivers great value. They won't if there are no more good books to read/music to listen to, because the gains aren't worth the effort that goes into producing them. I don't think danger is books or music disappearing, but that the quality goes down, as the incentives for authors/musicians/composers to invest significant time and effort producing high quality work are reduced. This particularly applies to the 'avant-guarde' works which push the envelope creatively/intellectually, but typically don't correlate with high volumes.
