One of the sad things is that people willing to just get a no-nonsense DRM-free MP3 of a years-old song they like for personal use (and sharing with a friend perhaps) are considered the same with those willing to get and even sell original stuff before it's even released.



This in large part because the MAFIAA got so damned used to selling the same thing over and over and over, as new ways to package came to be.

This anything that comes around that shortcircuit that business model gets lawyer bombed.


Any ideas on what can probably change the situation at some point?
