What they should be doing is adapting and providing legal outlets for people to purchase and download music.

They won't do this, because it would mean the disruption of a business model that they've settled into. They build up one song, stick it all over MTV, hype it to hell and back. Then they stick it on a CD with a load of crap and sell it for a premium price. If people can download - and pay for - only what they want, the music business won't be able to sell stuff nobody wants, which they've gotten used to doing.

I wonder what percentage of music downloads are done by people under 20? There's something vaguely absurd about the RIAA suing 12 year olds.....
