No, but the original post was about selling cds, not about anything else.
Look at it again...

No one is disputing that there are other avenues available today that weren't available 40 years ago. Your claim about finances is where you've lost people. Income from sales of cds is down. There's no disputing that. Yes, there are online streaming services that can generate some income but it's paltry compared to what it was years ago. We've seen lawsuits come from that problem as artists have sought a more equitable arrangement with the streaming companies. That's not borne of greed on the artists' part, but rather is the reaction to the greed of the streaming services who are keeping the lion's share of the profits made off the intellectual property of others.
