Youy already pay anywhere from 10 to 15 dollars for an album, why not start out at 25 cents a tranfer. That way they can atleast get it going one way. They could also offer these protected media forms at a substantially lower cost for download as well.<br /><br />The problem isn't because people don't want to pay, they just don't want to pay what the companies charge.Wyveryxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-82445966991670386522009-06-21T11:38:48.238-07:002009-06-21T11:38:48.238-07:00I do say bravo.

Enough with this mafia tactic nonsense (if you want to talk about who the real bullies are) of "Tech is helpless to assist copyright owners, but there are endless ways we can hurt you' type arguments. "You can't stop it" is not a productive discussion. For all those that want the music industry to surrender there protections, SHOW me the money. Show me the magical pot of gold on the other side. <br /><br />Oh that's right, there isn't one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383512304639632735.post-72835208496983537362009-06-21T02:57:51.884-07:002009-06-21T02:57:51.884-07:00Bravo!

It's a winning strategy: rather than embracing change & innovation, use shock & awe tactics to crush average families with a mighty heel! Let's hope more juries have the courage to drive the point home like this one did and teach americans a lesson that none of us will ever forget!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
