| just in my small opinion think back of the days when your access to music was radio or buying CD's
so you could tape radio-music for free but it was a hassle, so you ended up buying CD's anyway.
Make the DRM-free mp3's more convenient to D/L and listen to and ppl will pay for it. Isn't that how itunes sells massive amounts of songs, it is easy, ID10T proof and fast.
Compared to dealing with P2P and all it's problems(adware/virus/etc), torrents (clients, trackers, ports, rar-what?, unzip-huh?), usenet (what's that?)
Yes there will always be ppl trading tapes but even if I had friends with the CD i wanted, I still ended up buying the cd, it was more convenient.
why is allofmp3 a success, it is cheap and easy.
why do ppl still go to itunes and pay more? cause it is easier than allofmp3, more convenient from a joe.user with an ipod perspective.
charge a penny more for a cd-r and add a penny a gig for ipods just as they did for tapes and invest money in the biggest fastest and most user friendly pay-per-drmfree-song site and you will recover you supposed cd2pirate loss.

they will get there....eventually |
