Good article. It reminds me of a story told by an EMI executive. I'm sorry I don't have the link.

The EMI guy had been in a focus group, discussing music trends with a bunch of teenagers. At the end of the session, he thanked them for their input and pointed to a pile of CDs, saying they could help themselves to any they liked.

To his astonishment none of the youths were interested in physical CDs anymore. The EMI guy said that was they day when he realised that the business model had changed forever.
