    He doesn't address how he will compete with free. If I have to pay for a service, I'll expect the service to have excellent quality mp3s of any song I ask for. If the service doesn't have many of the songs I want, what benefit am I getting choosing him over grokster? Don't tell me compensating the artist - i'd rather send cash via the USPS to the artist than pay them the pittance royalty they'd get from this, or other RIAA sponsored sites.

    Until someone gets a universal database that works, with per-song pricing, I don't think anyone will budge.
