Ted, re:"If they feel that XYZ Music is selling a country star's music cheaper than their country star's music is sold then don't you think they want to sell his music at competitive prices also." Hi Ted, Thank you for the response. If I am understanding you right, the above scenario you mentioned cannot happen. XYZ Music Company will have no competition selling their content because they are the only one who owns it. XYZ Music Distributor can compete, but not XYZ Music Company. "If you were in the music business would you feel threatened? Of course you would but you don't want piracy so what do you do. You talk to technology companies and get a secure system so you don't get ripped off but you compete with the "new" guys online." I don't think music companies compete with anyone since they own the content. The distributors compete with each other. The distributors are the ones who will have options in their contracts with the music content owners to distribute music in various formats... the new one being online. That is what the music content owners are supposedly working on. Once that happens, than all music distributors will go online to downloadable content distribution, with covenents in their contracts on technologically how this can be done. Just my opinion, and thanx for the response. Jon :)
