Basically the same thing musicians said about the synth and music made by computers back in the day

100%. The music world has gone through the "but what will we do now?" at least 6-7 times. Music videos ("video killed the radio star"), sampling, the DAW (and time aligning), home studios, auto tune, plugins and amp simulators, napster/piracy, etc, etc.

		> napster/piracy This one rankles me because of a) the benefits piracy has (third world consumers can now discover you, for starters) and b) the absolute bad faith way in which the industry acts, screwing over artists, unethically going after Pirate Bay by making it into a trade war with Sweden (I think)
