I think the record labels/distributors should step up and offer the same type of service as allofmp3.com even it was a little more expensive(say.25 cents a song) so artists can reap so benefit. I think US customers would be willing to pay for it. Whats not ethical is.99cents for a song that is in some crap drm format that you can't play freely. But still no doubt allofmp3.com provides the best most flexible service regardless of ethical perspective.
I think it could have a marginal impact on Linux. But I think it potentially a bigger blow to Sun since this will a hardware/OS integrated solution unix solution with Apple's seal of approval. Not to mention those sexy looking Xserve machines.
