How Can You Trace the Negative Effects of Bad Incentives

In some ways, it can be made rational in that you can trace the negative effects of bad incentives. If you're going to pirate every c d that gets produced in the year, whatever it was, 19 98, then that's going to have a very predictable effect on the the economics of producing music. In the nineties, for while, i made my living as a recording musician, and leaving aside performances, just from the recording business, I could sell like, 30 thousand records. That was cool,. And we' got to record in a nice studio and all these things. But not everyone wants the tour, or can tour. Only some of them can have careers giving lectures.
