I am with you on this - note how music industry, which adds 900% extra cost to original amout actually paid to artists (royalties), is trying their best to end their existance so purposefully - they are forcing the most successful _legal_ online reseller - Apple to raise prices on songs to make than more expensive than buying same CD in stores!

Can't they get a clue that all those millions in this country who move to broadband are doing for reasons other than browsing? And market for portable MP3 players is now mainstream with affordable models like IPOD offering to store 4,000+ songs on one device. Do they REALLY think people will pay £4,000 to fill in their MP3 player???

Just wait till MP3 players or more likely mobile phones with upgraded capacity will facilitate trading of MP3 files in environments that are not controlled by anyone - free airwaves via Bluetooth!
