Ian was saying he'd pay $3 for an un DRMed high quality track; which is a *silly price* when you compare it to the cost of buying a physical instantiation of the same music. If people *do* start paying silly money for what can be marketed as a 'luxury' version of the product, then... Well. You'll end up with a DRM underclass of people who can't afford free data. Pyhrric victory, innit? Dave lab66 - I'm sure you make similar good points in your email but it has come through with little whitespace and is near illegible. Might be a problem with your client?
