If <<The "Constitutional problem" copyright seems to create with respect to music is "inability to listen to newly-released songs by favorite musicians without paying for them".>> was the idea you got from my writeup, I clearly failed to present my concepts adequately. Ok, yes, it's true that this can be an issue for some people. But that does not make it a constitutional problem. The constitutional problems have to do with the purpose of copyright (it is supposed to foster creativity) and its character (it is supposed to last for a limited time). [And, if you are going to try to bring up Eldred v. Ashcroft, note that the facts of that case included no mention of human lifespan and the court does not rule on facts which are not contested. But there are other complications also, and we should be demanding Congress to write better laws... if only we could figure out what those laws would be.] Anyways, I was commenting on what might be some reasons for widespread adoption of the mentality you are talking about. (And note also that I believe I said nothing in opposition to iTunes Music Store.)
