The music industry doesn't get it. People are sick of paying too much for their music. That's the reason people are swapping music on peer-to-peer networks. There is already a small minority that are buying their music from iTunes or similar services. I think I read yesterday that less than 25% of those polled in the US buy their music online. The rest use peer-to-peer. I also read that the phone comanies will probably charge $2 to $3 dollars per song. If the industry abandons iTunes for the phone companies with their outrageous fees, they will lose a huge chunk of that 25%. (It might also help if they gave us better music!)
