I personally think the music industry is making one of the biggest mistakes of all:

- TOO MUCH GREED.

Seriously, the only reason why I would download music (which i dont do obviously, so i can not be held liable) is because it REFUSE to pay 40 € for a double CD sampler that cost maybe 0.1 cents in the acutal cd production and about 100.000 € in artist fees (if that).

That is unacceptable. If they would sell the same sampler for, uhm lets say 5 €, i wouldnt bother downloading those songs just for the sake of having a pretty cover / proper CD - Case.

Furthermore, industry has to realize that people no longer want to have CD nowadays. What tehy really want (thats the trend at least) is a legal, cheap, organized way of getting music over the net for REASONABLE prices. 10 cents per song would be reasonable.

I dont know, i get really worked up about these things.
