In his own words…
"Emerging technologies signal their arrival long before they bloom into full-fledged commercial successes. This means looking past the disappointing results, limited functionality and modest initial applications to anticipate the possibilities. The future of the music business may not be defined by the major entertainment companies as much as by the students in the college dorms downloading MP3 files."
