Its insane to think this is the right way to do things. Seriously if it was Microsoft would of owned music all ready. It has been what they have been pushing all along, for nearly a decade guys. And you havent bought it, in all those years.
Yahoo music offered it, Real offered it... the list is endless.
The majority of the public have paid for very lil music. I know 4 billion is a big number, but if you compare to 120 million ipods sold, that is 34 songs a device. This is simple math and doesnt really mean much but that means in the whole time we own that device we have purchased 34 songs for it. the average ipod has way more songs on it:)
We have massive media collections as it is, that is what is on our ipod.
This is a good option for some ppl, but not for many.
