2011 was a
record-breaking year for water sold in the States. With 9.1 billion gallons of
bottled water sold, bottled water sales broke the previous 2007 record of 8.8
billion gallons sold in the U.S. of A.
When I was
in my teens, there are two things in particular that were facts of that time in
life that now are no longer so: few people bought their water in bottles and
most people bought their music in packages. Today, the reverse is true. Music
flows over the Internet as free and freely as once did water. A fact of
commerce is that “If you want something good, you have to pay for
it"…otherwise you're stealing. It's not only the product or service, but
it is the non-replenishable time given to provide tools, materials, and
creativity to provide the former.
