     It will "degrade the value of our work." But recorded music arguably did that to real music already. The written word put a serious dent in the bards' work (the bards were probably really good). Video killed the radio star. It's not even like new edges out old but ultimately we benefit. It's more like: things change until you can't even recognize why people used to like the old stuff. We don't even have access to the music of the ancient Greeks - word has it that it was good.
