Name: Michael S. Friis

Bio: Electronics Engineer - Internet User - Technology Engineer

Area of Expertise: Entrepreneur/Business Leader

Topic: Controversial Issues

Headline: Sharing Music and Video Preview

Nutshell: The Big Label companies need to understand that the internet is a way of promoting and sharing (previews) of music and video.

Vision:

I would like a future, where low-quality music/video is available for – well almost – free. E.g. 64Kbit MP3. However, that also means that when you DO buy a CD, it should offer FAR better quality than MP3. Preferably the CD should contain standard 44KHz audio as well as high quality MP3/AAC/?? audio.
