For the past few decades it has been possible to hear music for free on the good ol' radio. Some people even used recording devices (aka cassette tapes) to take music from the radio and listen to it whenever they wanted! There was an article about this on http://www.theonion.com awhile back. What I don't get is why Kazaa is so much worse than companies like Clear Channel. Perhaps the music industry needs to find more ways to make money.
