this makes me wonder if music is about to be unlocked. all it really takes is for one of the majors to realize that music is a service and not a product and completely disrupt the music industry. similar to the monetization strategy of social games -- spend money chasing the people who will pay by giving them reasons to buy rather than throwing good money after bad by litigating against people who won't pay in trying to recoup some silly notion of a 'lost sale.'

then again... this is the self-destructive music industry we're talking about here.
