If the recording industry would embrace legally selling music online at 99 cents a song there would be little incentive to pirate music. Using programs file sharing programs like Kazaa fill your computer with spyware, browser hijackers and worse and the audio quality of some of these downloads is questionable. Instead of going to a record store and spending nearly $20 for a CD that is mostly shlock if people could go to a music store step up to a computer Kiosk and pick the songs they want from 100,000 titles for under a buck and load them directly to their I-pod or MP3 player, more outlets would sell music and sales would increase. The recording industry, particularly Sony, is shooting themselves in the foot.
"The only reason kids download music is because the $h!+ just isn't worth buying."
-Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden
Gee... we could even call this the iTunes Music Store.
