It's astonishing to think that major labels could be even more out of touch with their customers than they already were. Still, at least they'll sell you downloads of your CDs that you can't play on your PC.

Huh the tape cassette started it all. All it took was for a simple medium that let people copy music.

I think mp3/digital music has its good and bad points, but i dont care anyway as i've just bought a truntable off ebay Roll on the Louis Armstrong jazz records! I'll be popping off to me local second hand record store very soon.

I don't think there is any conceivable limit to the major labels' greed...they would charge poor people 500 dollars a month to download a few songs if they thought they could.

I'm all in favor of them doing totally stupid things, to raise awareness that folks don't have to do business with them. Eventually, the major labels will be gone. Music will continue on fine without them.

wholesale music prices, thought to be around 65 cents a song, were originally set artificially low in a bid to stimulate demand

I thought they were originally set artificially high because early players in the music download market (mp3 download sites and ringtone download sites) asked for the rights before record companies had decided on a price, so they charged them what they wanted?
