Left to their own devices, the dinosaurs that run the recording industry will let their greed kill the golden goose that Steve Jobs gave them.

Jobs understands what they apparently don't; you've got to treat your customers with a modicum of respect if you want them to part with their hard-earned cash. Make it too expensive or the DRM too restrictive, and your customers will walk away from legal downloading. It doesn't matter how many laws the RIAA gets Congress to pass, you are not going to stop "illegal" downloading and sharing without a better alternative out there.

Dolts!
