"I'm not one to believe the basic nature of economics changes with technology."

The nature of economics is to supply the consumer with that which he wants.

People want a new way to obtain music, and the industry will not face that fact.

No. The nature of economics is the mechanism by which scarce resources with alternative uses are best allocated. The talent required to create [whatever] is in itself a scarce resource.

Thanks for entirely missing the point of my posts, and reinforcing my belief that pirates, as a symptom of addicion, expend great energy to deny the larger picture.

*sigh*
