this is it right here, and i don't think they have this answer!

its about the quality. they actually WANT you to hear the music and even 'own' bootlegs/tapes so that you burn with the desire to have the 'real thing'

the internet blew that up. 1s and 0s are 1s and 0s. now the copy is not only flawless..but in the case of FLAC files, the audiophile/grassroot pent-up demand has resulted in these torrent sites who have

a. far superior quality (FLAC and no DRM shite headaches)
b. better cataloging (holy shite..between discographies, rareties, compilations, lyrics and background wikis, collages of related metadata, private music trackers provide pure heaven/magic for the hardcore fans)
c. easier access

that scares the shite out of them which it should. the private trackers are doing a frick-better job of appealling to music-philes by giving them a much much MUCH better experience at following their favorite musicians. its not all about the downloads..its about the organization and throughness of these collections which the riaa

WILL

NEVER

DO.

Zune is $14.95 a month and you can download and get license to listen to anything on their site. I have thousands of songs from them on my Zune player but as soon as I quit paying the $14.95 a month it all goes away.
