Stealing Music, Reprised

BODY:
I've been posting about music a lot lately - probably trying to make up for those early months where the subject barely graced Obsidian Potency, considering what a huge role the medium plays in my life.  But in case I didn't do it before, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A10039-2001Dec20&notFound=true">this article depicts a perfect example</a> of the many ways which the recording industry is barking up the wrong tree.

Instead of trying to defeat all forms of ditigal music sharing, why not incorporate it into a quality service?  Oh wait, that would mean the industry couldn't go about economically abusing consumers and retailers with price-fixing and collusion.  My bad.
