Sorry, but I disagree. The early adopters matter very little. The music industry continues to make profit mainly via cd sales, bought by the old-fashioned folk. Not from the early adopters buying mp3s. Why? Those with the money and will to pay the horrendous prices aren't the young hipster-type early adopters, but the middle-aged conservative customers. At least the ifpi thinks so (and I personally am inclined to agree with them on that matter). And so I think it matters what those customers think and do, not the early adopters.
