I think that this is deffinately how its going to be. With more and more people getting broadband internet connections, and with the industry's dawning realization that p2p is not going to go away, this is the best way that they can embrace it.
I simply can't afford to buy albums at €23.00 a go (€1~=$1), I simply don't have the money, so I do download a lot of my music/rip it from friends cds. €23 is nothing other than blantant profiteering,there is absolutely no reason for cds to cost this much.
I would be more than happy to pay for reasonably priced music.
I'm also interested in the legality of the site.
I think, ideally, in the future, it would be good to see artist's selling their music directly to their audience (or through a site such as this) for very reasonable prices, with a large proportion of the sale going directly to the artists.
Howver, such a set up would be next to impossible given the current artistic climate where record companies essentially own the souls of their signed artists.
