Music still earns very well.  Digital jukes especially.  People love the selection available.  And they pay a premium for it.

They even have ethernet connection and can download what you want on the fly. You can actually hear Slayer in a public place now.

What to they do, drag the ethernet cable behind the ship? I know you're not posting off-topic stuff in Encryptors ship thread!  ;D

Nope. Definitely not.

I figure with the economy getting so bad, the amusement industry would start seeing an upswing if history can be trusted....

What are you talking about?  The last time the economy took a huge dive, the "classic game era" ended.  Sometimes I think this might be more of a factor than the "home console games" explanation that most people consider the root cause of the fall of arcades in the 80's.
