I, too, am pleased to see the piracy-related comments from the Register. The Register's comment that "the majority of consumers would choose to use a legal service if it could offer a comparable product" rings especially true to me. A few months ago I learned about a record label called Magnatune (http://www.magnatune.com/) that provides downloadable-licensed music and let's customers pick their price (between $ and $18) for the downloads. The recommended price for an album is $8, but many users pay MORE than that price (because they are passionate about it? because they just love it?). I think this supports the theory that people will pay to get the product they want. Now, shouldn't you be studying for the bar? ;) Hi Joe, thanks for blogging about this.
