Jon: Those same arguments/observations were made when the first 8-track and cassette players/recorders came out. The digital player is just another way to play music, and the internet is just another way to buy music. The only difference I see is that they are both digital-the way things are now (but won't be in ten years).

I don't really believe content holders care about how it's distributed, just as long as they get their enormous cut. That's not going to change. But they will make their content available on whatever medium is hot at the time. Remember the reluctance to distribute content on CD? Or movies on DVD? Not anymore.

I see distribution of content via the internet as a tremendous end to production costs. Of course, the cost to the consumer won't change. There's your profit incentive.
