Okay, and what’s in it for the music-lover? I’m sick and tired of hearing all this corporate flannel – when they are asked to justify what they are doing they come out with crap about positioning themselves in the market, or creating a brand that creates firm returns from units etc, completely ignoring the fact that people are supposed to be attracted to these services.

Until Verizon and their ilk start thinking about distinctive services geared towards music-lovers wanting to be part of and appreciative of a msic download service, p2p will continue to flourish.
