no innovation?
We've gone from CDs to online streaming music like pandora,last.fm, and grooveshark.
I remember when Napster first came out and the pirates of the Internet tried to legitimize their actions by saying that music was just too expensive and you couldn't "try before you buy". Next, it was DRM.
Now that music is 99 cents/song (and many times less than this), you can get it with no DRM, and you can pretty much listen to any song you want for free before buying, you would think that sales would increase and piracy would decrease.
Instead, it's worse than ever and sales have been tanking, which is exactly why the music industry wanted to stop it in the first place.
What "laws and litigation" are stifiling "business plans' and innovation?
