Free Music Vs. Paying For It

This isn’t a new idea, in fact its been talked about for months while record label executives muddle the online music space. The straight, in your face question is: Who is going to pay for something when you can just as easily get it for free. Modbee.com has an article on the topic and points out many flaws in and out of the system while record companies continue to waste millions of dollars on technology that might never be used. “They resisted the opportunity to use the Internet as a distribution channel and instead focused on protecting the CD market.” Added Susan Kevorkian, an analyst with IDC Research in Mountain View, Calif. Sad isn’t it, just 2 years ago they might have been able to stop the landslide of potential buyers instead they choose to be the housing the avalanche destroys. The record companies had been very comfortable with a certain business model for a long time and were very reluctant to move forward,” said Mark Mooradian, an analyst with Jupiter Media Metrix. What’s your take on this growing trend, will you pay to download music? What if: What if Napster would have never taken off, would you still feel the same about not paying for music online or would you find imaginary self purchasing countless mp3 files? Side Note: All you people complaining about the news here on Zeropaid, do us a favor and contribute instead of complaining.
