Seems to me that the whole thing will boil down to what the 'industry' is going to want to do with them. MP3.com is a well positioned portal. But if the recording industry wants to destroy them they can. They will either destroy them or make them. Here is a fact: Music (along with other media, but especially music) is going to be delivered by the net in large in the near future. The stereo in your car, and in yourhome along with your computer will 'tune in' to download and stream music from the net. Imagine if radio mated with a jukebox. This IS what we will have. Her is another fact: The public WILL NOT ACCEPT the sorts of formats (fingerprinted, watermarked whatever) that the industry wants to use. They WILL continue to use OPEN, FREE, non encrypted compressed audio formats. This means they will use mp3 and its decendants. These two facts provide a compelling reason for the record industry to cooperate (haha or just co-op) with mp3.com. I agree with you Anthony that the subscriber model alone will not do it for mp3.com. And I am dubious of their other options. But I do beleive there are some. regards, cAPSLOCK (An mp3.com artist ;) mp3.com
