I agree- the days of charging $15+ for a CD with 2 good cuts are past. The music industry will adapt, probably by finding some way to market individual cuts over the net, or letting people purchase customized cd's.

A note for those who cry about copyright infringement- copyrights used to live for 50 years and die. Lobbying has extended that twice in hte last 20 years, to the point it is now 100 years, I think.

The greats, Louis Armstong, Marlene Dietrich, and others would be coming into the public domain now, except for this fact. I feel no shame for downloading their works.
