wooo doggies how did this happen?

Consumers are totally UNWILLING TO PAY for music anymore according to the RIAA! The internet has killed the music business! (it has nothing to do with the fact that a CD with maybe one or two songs costs $17 bucks, there is no "legal" way to get a better price, while CDs of first rate movies which take millions to make cost half as much)

Apple says online music sales exceeding expectations

Songs are 99 cents per download, and unlike competitors the Apple service has virtually no copy protection. Customers can keep the songs indefinitely, share them on as many as three Macintosh computers and play them on any number of iPod portable music players. No subscriptions are necessary and buyers can burn unlimited copies of the songs onto CDs.

The RIAA is a blight on the landscape; they're bad for artists and bad for consumers. Their constituents are big labels and entrenched performers, neither of which have my sympathy.

JMHO.
