Music brands
In the near future, music brands will never die. When Britney Spears's body terminates (she has no pulse and stops breathing), the world won't know it. Like in William Gibson's book "Idoru," the artist will turn virtual and no one will know the difference. The music has always been virtual, but now so will the performer. A hologram. The same songs will continue to be created, and the same dance moves, and the same music videos. Idoru pulls the wool over your eyes.
