Alas thats the only influence left nowadays that seems to count IMHO.

Everything even that which is perceived to be non commercial is commercial ( we are all sales reps in this biz model ) the moment it is offered for public consumption.

and what is offered is simply either viable or marginal in a business sense but everything including purity competes for its own space nowadays.

I also cant for the life of me yet point to one single act that has been taken from concept to breaking - hits - sales - from the web...

until probably as i predict IMHO when Microsoft ( very soon ) destroys what remains of the recording industry as we know it.
