It excites me to see that someone believes this music issue is a failure of capitalistic distribution. I totally agree. You made a reference to food scarcity. The fact is that there is not scarcity of food. The problem is with capitalism, and its current system of distribution.
What should happen is that food, medicine, and other important things get distributed like MP3s. The world would be an infinitly better place is capitalization wasn't driving the rich countries to exccess.
