The music industry is greedy and is trying to protect an overpriced product.
There is no way that a CD of your favorite artist should cost more than $5.
If that were the case, digital theft would not be such an issue for the
recording industry. The same thing is now beginning to happen with digital
television and HDTV. Proprietary copy protection that will prevent you and
I from being able to time shift for our personal use. Digital technologies,
I think, will eventually force these artifically price supported industries
to come back to the real world. Napster will show the industry what the
public is willing to pay for their product instead of the industry setting
an artifical price.
