- Yes No
- Organizer:
- Description:
- If the filesharing debate has proven anything its that physical media is on the decline and perhaps for good. But this doesn't mean bands can't make money selling physical goods -- limited edition albums sell in record time to rabid fans for hundreds of dollars and some musicians predicate access to ticket sales on purchasing physical media. Come ready to discuss the future of your (and everybody's record) collection with industry professionals, collectors, musicians and fans.
