There will always be downloaders, but it’s a matter of listening to music before paying for it.

The advent of Itunes, and being able to pay track-by-track for only $0.99, would be great, without the DRM.

What’s funny is, in 1998/1999, when Napster was huge lawsuit news and internet music piracy was a sudden, new watchword, I said “Y’know, record companies should just set up a system by which to buy individual tracks cheap… maybe recommend more based on what you buy.”

I should’ve worked on coding it, instead of figuring that it couldn’t be that good an idea, or they’d be working on it.
