First of all I have no love for the music industry, most are bloodsucking leeches exploiting the talent and hard work of artists. That is the system that needs changing.

Having said that, Apple nailed this one. The system is easy to use, the selection is better then I thought it would be and it is almost too easy to use. I bought five songs right away. 99 cents is a good point to start with, and there will probaly be promotions, etc.

this is like having a music store in my office. The sound quality is very acceptable and with support for ACC I can squeeze more songs on my 20 gig ipod which is already full of songs I ripped from my own cd's.

 I can affortd a buck for a great song. One of the analysts that said 15 cents is the proper price point is probaly not a music fan. Jeez, people... kick down a buck or two, I will probaly budget about $20 a month for songs and I will still buy CD's. Limewire, Kaaza, is lame... lousy quality, slow downloads, potential viruses. (as a computer consultant I have made a few thousand dollars this year cleaning up end-user windows systems infected by Kazaa downloads, so I probaly should not complain). You end up paying with your time and so on.
Hopefully some of the money will get to the artists and services like this should stipulate that.
As far as the restrictions go, damn... how many copies do I need? usually just one or two... I can make a cd for the car and sync one to my ipod. I have a hard time thinking of a reason to make 10 copies of the same exact playlist.
I welcome any challenges to my opinions. Open debate is the best way to come up with a solution that balances art and commerce.
