Regarding the point Bill Drummond was trying to make about the death of recorded music. I don't think a printed book is that different, so why isn't print dead from his point of view?
This one's easy: because you're not him. The question does not follow from the postulate. Also, recorded music is 120 years old, a tiny bubble in the history of human communication, of which music has always been a part. Printed books are 550 years old, but the concept (and practice!) of storing words on paper is thousands of years old.
