P2p is here to stay and people ARE used to getting songs for free. It is up to the music industry to adapt or die. This time, it is the consumer that is in control....not the cartels....and with the consumer having free p2p versus paid music that only plays on your ipod....the choice is clear for most. If the cartels really want to compete with p2p, then they had better come up with some kind of license that lets advertisments pay for files and keep it FREE to the consumer! That is the ONLY way they are gonna compete....anything less is just dreaming.....
