What about electronica? Are people going to pay to see someone on-tour push the play button on their sampler?

What about video games? How much money are you going to make selling Doom T-shirts?

What about movies? When they perfect eye-glasses that can project a large-screen-like image on your retina there will be no reason to ever go to the movies.

They'll have to produce something people are willing to pay for - as most of the musicians I know do during their "day jobs."

Well, one thing that the video game industry has is multi-player. You need a CD-key (a 20 digit code that is unique to each copy of the game) to play the game on their servers, and since multiplayer is the big draw, people will have to buy the game.
