a lease with bellsouth dsl has gotten me access to more mp3's, movies, cartoons, anime, basically EVERYTHING through a FREE newsgroup subscription that's included with the lease. when people pay for high speed service, and recieve this kind of server access as a benefit, who care if "dsl users download a song in one minute for less than a dollar"? p2p was a great concept until the industry cash whores bought a piece of it. people with the iq of a jar of mayonnaise might be dumb enough to pay for this, but even without competing music downloads such as kazaa and tesla, plus innumerable others, it's still easier, and cheaper, to buy a cd used OR new. at least then you can rip it, burn it, customize it, etc.
