The music business is resisting rather than exploiting the Long Tail. Here’s the lesson from the Web 1.0 bubble - in the long tail - value context over content. A music search application that will let you find the indie artists that you appreciate out of all the terabytes of music available will be the next money maker. And the musicians won’t get rich, but they will get played. The loser: the people who made their money out of artificial scarcity and payola.
