I remember Juno and Netzero. Netzero is even still around today only they don't offer free service anymore. I remember when banner ads were everywhere and then people discovered money couldn't be made off of the but Google still makes money off of adwords. To say a blanket market will fail is rediculous. Plus it's not truly free internet. The city will be footing part of the bill and Googles PR (which they really don't need any more of) will be good compensation too.
When you listen to ear buds the pressure in your ear is higher than it normally is. This is where a lot of the damage comes from, not from how loud the music is. I don't think it is common sense to know this so a warning label would definitely be warrented. Though I do dissagree with a lawsuit since studies have been out for awhile about this so people who care should already be aware.
