About time they did too! Maybe now with the RIAA being in shambles and other "p2p web sheriff'" organizations running out of funds a new business music and even movie model can emerge.....but even then these people need to understand one thing. p2p IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE and is like a hydra...the more you try to cut off it's head....the more "heads" it grows! If Napster was licensed way back when it was still possible to control music because it was all basically in one place on the net the music industry had a shot at keeping control . But now that is just a pipe dream. Because of the industries greed that is no longer possible. But the industry can still come up with something if they take off DRM quit suing their customers and actually make music WORTH paying for again by coming up with new ideas for digital distribution if they miss this boat though....I think that may be the last one for them before they completely collapse. And they will have no one but themselves and their own greed to blame.

Something tells me that whenever technology improved and storage medium advanced the cost per song dropped. So my argument would be that the trend should have continued with the internet and its lower distribution costs but it hasn't. The value in music has dropped yet its prices have not and that is what is stifling the industries sales. Its greed plain and simple they can't accept that their model needs to change. NiN have been a prime example of what a good price point can do for sales and how music can be profitable for artists should they choose to dump the industry. At this point its become a game of control and unless law markers are stupid the industry will undoubtedly loose.

The only costs are manpower and marketing. @MR
