We feel as most do that it has been a positive, overall. The 'fad' is in the misconception that an artist should be marketed exclusively online. We're all about technological advancement... that would be why we run a website rather than publish a magazine. We think accessibility is one of the most important things when it comes to working an artist. If people can't find it, what's the point in promoting it? What we're saying is, it's completely daft to ignore every other promotional outlet and believe the cheap internet alternative can save you. We're speaking out against laziness and the search for a new formula that includes online marketing. Formulas, in general, we wish were a thing of the past. Extremism in either direction is a bad idea. There is middle ground between old school tactics and new school technology and that needs to be embraced. The mistake people are currently making is they believe it has to be one or the other and as a result, no albums are reaching their full potential. I hope that clarifies things.

I don't know about "fad." A fad is something that comes into popularity because of fashion or cool-factor. Digital music distribution came into popularity out of function (convenience). And while some kids may begin to miss the physical CD, the next generation won't know what they're missing unless people start buying physical CDs again soon.
