The record companies' business model hasn't changed since 1955. Technology has changed. They need to get with the program. Free music does NOT hurt the record companies, bad product does. People will pay to go to concerts, but t-shirts and if they are BIG fans will pay for the music. The fight against Napster/Kazaa/Limewire etc. is a waste of time and money.

I have thought the same thing for the last few years. If a music act is good, people will buy their CD's and go to their concerts.

When is the last time you heard a really good band or music act with a original sound? Been awhile, hasn't it.

So if McDonald's just gave away steak dinners, they'd make more money?
