So this is how the music industry has changed already.
From all over the world:
I purchase virtual synths, sound editing programs and sequencers electronically and download them to my laptop.
In the US:
I make sounds with the virtual synths. I chop them into loops with the sound editing programs. I arrange the loops into songs with a sequencing program. I render them to a "high res" mp3 with the sequencing program.
In the US & UK:
I upload the song from the US to my publisher in the UK. My publisher emails a "yes" or "no" for acceptance. The contract is electronically signed. The publisher releases the song for digital distribution.
From all over the world:
Consumers buy my songs, download them and pay for them electronically with their credit cards.
In the UK & US:
The publisher pays me electronically from the UK directly into my checking account in the US.
Results:
Never has a physical good changed hands. Nothing but membranes vibrating air has resulted in the physical world.
