There is something wrong when the music industry thinks it is illegal for Amazon to hold music I buy from Amazon and send it to me when I want to listen to it.

  I think this just shows that they are fearful, ill informed fools that were lucky to have made their fortunes off the backs of talent to begin with. 'They' won't be happy until we have to pay for every song virtually every time we play it. That's what they really want. It's not enough I've already bought Beatles Revolver 5-6 times during my life on different formats or 'newly remasted' editions. No they have to get even more out of me, and if I try to make my life easier by simply putting it online so I - and only I - can always get to it, look out, you are a dastardly pirate who aims to destroy them! Man can you imagine working in an industry run by these kinds of paranoid fools?

  The difference is that they think they can get paid when Amazon sells the song to you and when Amazon rents the hard drive space to you and when you stream the song from Amazon and when you send a friend a link to listen to a song and when you try to download the song again after your hard drive in your home computer dies and when you try to listen to a song on a phone and when you try to listen to a song in a broswer and when you have more than 1 device that can listen to the song at once and when you upgrade computers and when you apply a software update to your phone. tl;dr there are a bunch of old people that have no idea how the music industry works anymore negotiating with the companies that are their only hope for keeping them in business.
