As long as humanity exists, music will never deplete in value.
Now, the context of 'value' is up for debate. Sentimental and/or tangibility. Orrin has a point.
With technology becoming more readily available, it is much easier to come by creation and production/mastering software. With piracy on the rise, artists lose out on cash from their music, but retain royalties. However, with adblockers, they lost out on some of those royalties they gain on YouTube and other social media websites.
The seminar the OP went to sounds like a load of horse crap. All I see is some pretentious guy wearing a black turtleneck with a giant headset preaching pseudo sanctimonious platitudes to a bunch of gullible people (no offense to the OP). The value of music will never ever die. All it can do is evolve, and as humanity has clearly demonstrated - we will adapt.
Just my two cents..
