By controlling the availability of products, they control the price of those products. Suddenly, unlimited availability becomes the norm, and that control is lost. They still charge damn near $20 for a lot of new CDs (yes, $18.98 is "near $20" so don't gripe about a technicality). I ain't buying it. The RIAA had two choices (and still has them): they can either use the unlimited availability the way a spacecraft uses the gravity of a large body in space to gain amazing momentum, or they can sue people for doing something which, while some cases of it are illegal, is ironically benefiting the very giants that hate it. Why don't they realize that p2p file sharing is BOOSTING SALES? It seems to me that the RIAA and MPAA could reel in a FORTUNE if they would silently stop suing customers, remove DRM from their products, and just let loose the digital music revolution.

Anyways, how does digitizing music demean it? It does not! It does the opposite! It makes it more available and playable to the masses, and it starts to become an art form again.

Not to mention taking away artistic talent and replacing it with a formula to make the most $$? The there is exerting control over the free advertising (radio, internet radio). oh wait that just applies to corporate owned music not indies. “but I think it kind of demeans music”
