Will people pay for it? Craig, If you were following your own logic, you should conclude by the previous post that: yes, people will pay. The premise of your original argument was that since music is available for free, then no one will want to buy music encoded under the LQID audio approach. But as the previous poster stated, the major record companies support the Liquid Audio approach. The obvious conclusion, which refutes your original argument, is that if the major record companies support the Liquid Audio approach they also do not intend to allow their music to be freely distributed using the MP3 standard. Hopefully, the labels will get their $$$, and we'll get ours. Regarding your earlier comment on MP3's significantly higher market cap, you imply that this is a dismissal of Liquid Audio's business model. To me, it's a buying opportunity. As you say, we shall see. bc_mack
