An oldie, but a goodie.

However, software is not information. It is technology.

And that technology is comprised of nothing but information. Ones and
zeros
to be precise. So your argument is circular. Software = information.

I don't think you got my point. You are quoting the idea that the
world has evolved different standards of currency. Our currency used
to be based on precious metals and other "things". At some point
it became more based on energy (oil etc). Who ever controls the
energy supply controls the economy. Whoever it was who suggested
that eventually the new standard of currency will be whoever controls
information will control the economy meant information as in a
consumable entity and so on. So while you can generalise that
technology is information, it is actually a lot more than that.
It is established as having an appliable use. Rather
than music creating/recording software being information, it is
perhaps the recorded music such as a music CD that is the information.

Ok. I follow you to a point. I do think the world is evolving to a different
sort of currency. But I do think that software is a form of information.

I don't follow you on your last sentence:

Rather than music creating/recording software being information, it is
perhaps the recorded music such as a music CD that is the information.

I think both. The software is information. And the recorded music CD is also
information. The bands have to adapt too. I think the importance of the live
show has never been more important.
