The problem is that the music industry didn't adapt to this change at all, and reacted badly when piracy became commonplace. What they've only just taken on board is that digital music has advantages for them; just look at how much music is sold (legally) through iTunes, and how popular music services such as Spotify and Pandora are becoming. The issue wasn't that everyone wanted music for free, the issue was that everyone wanted music on their digital hardware. If you give people a way of getting it that doesn't involve piracy, a lot of those people will pay for it.
Well said and I agree. Im sure Metallica cringes at their past days of suing Napster...seeing that they now make mucho money off of $.99 songs.
I, like most people, do not want to pay $30 for a CD that only has one good song on it.
I would rather pay a dollar for that song.
But personally speaking, I think music should be a free expression...in the free-est sense.
Did I spell that right?
