i think it’s stupid cause anybody can already download videos from youtube useing realplayer and convert it to mp3 and put it on an ipod for free. i do it everyday so this wont work out either.

of technically aware people. Most people have no idea how to rip tunes or use a torrent but it doesn’t matter because they either no people that do or don’t care about owning a copy of an album anymore.
The music industry as we know it is dead.

Looked at my $ spend on music this year….and it’s a sad day for record labels. (3 Cds, 8 MP3 full CD downloads, many more copies or bittorrent)

That said, I’ve never spent MORE on Concert Tickets now that my CD spend it down.
