superiorrain- Thanks for the history in brief. Such a paranoid industry, however, is doomed to fail in the long run. Each time in the past they were able to recover becuase no matter what, they were ultimately the source of the music for the masses. Now they are not. With the internet and the free trade of information, the digital ether is the source of everything for everything. They may not last forever, but alienating paying customers will just spell their doom that much quicker.
