Don’t give these corporate parasites and criminals ideas to stay in business since at this point they should all die.

No justice no peace.

" For every $0.01 increase in price faced by the student, the willingness to buy the song decreased by 0.3% on average." Turn this around. "For every $0.01 DEcrease in price faced by the student, the willingness to BUY the song INcreased by 0.3% on average." Keep that up and you'll hit a price point which competes with free. Where the willingness to buy the song and avoid the hassle of inconsistent quality, bad tagging, bad filenames and search effort outweighs the cost. Remember AllFoMp3? When it was easy to buy access, people who normally got their MP3s from P2P paid them for the privilege instead. And the price break seems to be about $0.10-$0.25 for a track and $1-$2.50 for an album. So call me back when I can buy LAME 192Kbps VBR MP3s of obscure albums from Amazon at $1.00 per album. If you're lucky there'll still be music I want that I haven't found yet and you might even get some money out of it.
