i'd guess that torrents are actually pretty out of date. i'm not sure what kids might use, today. tor? just secret drive shares? or do they just send files to each other directly?
but, i don't think the idea has likely changed - when you find something new, you want to really experience it, in a big way.
if i was 14 years old, and somebody told me about pink floyd, i wouldn't want to go to youtube to hear a single, and for what? another brick in the wall?
no, i'd want to download their entire discography, drop it into a portable device and let it play continuously, in order, as i travel to school, or do whatever. i'd start with pipers and just let it roll right into the end. and, i'd listen to it over and over again.
i wouldn't have $300, granted. or, at least not right away. but, maybe i might get used to buying music like that, too. i dunno.
i know what i'd want.
so, there it is.
