The Money Note:Can the Record Business be Saved? To be honest, I do not think the record business can be saved because in our society the next biggest, best thing comes out to diminish the last of its kind. Technology grows and grows each day, in the future, there might be something even more easier then downloading music offline. Yes, downloading music is illegal, but everyone does since its free, conveinent and down right simple. Music will never die in our society, but the record business has a lot of tweaking to do if they want to stay afloat.
