why sell 160gb ipods...

when it would cost thousands to fill them? it's just hypocrisy, making money where you can, and demonising and alienating consumers when you can't... the industry has been largely reactive to change. for instance, CD prices have only plummeted because of the impact that piracy has had on demand. the fact is that people have been encouraged become used to having a greater range of music at their fingertips whenever they want and the old industry model can't offer this. one way that torrents could be trumped would be to provide unlimited streaming from a library for a set fee. sites such as last.fm appear to be headed that way, although wireless internet would need to be ubiquitous first in order it to work
