". . . many people try to take advantage of an idea by patenting the idea but having no product or a way to get the product to market."

Patents are not awarded for ideas, only for methods that operationalize ideas.

There's no question that CD sales are down considerably from, say, 25 years ago. Whether Apple is responsible for this, or the fact that there are numerous ways to obtain a copy of a music selection without having to buy a CD, is difficult to argue. What strikes me as important, however, is the approx. 30% cut that Apple takes from the sale of a music selection, which can have a serious impact on a young, upcoming artist.
