or the download pricepoint is just not there yet.
look what happened with the itunes 99 cents made a difference.
The problem is the consumer is buying a song, the industry THINKS they are selling a recording in a particular format.
There has to be a “convenience price” that works. IOW something that has no DRM and is not draconian to use. (ie not slaved to itunes managment software)
I think they should figure out a way to release music in a format that can’t be digitized. I don’t know if that’s even possible, but that’s what they should do.
