Hey I think you forget someone in your article : who does the music ? who spend hours working with expensive material to give some pleasure to our ears and mind ? If the downloaders were also the producers I think we would have there a really sharing system working good for everybody. But now, when you download an mp3 file with P2P, you give a big finger to who you listen to. I think the real battle here is not between P2P and iTMS like solutions, and if there's a looser, it's the artist.
When you like a kazaa file, buy it.
And yes, I know record compagnies grow millions... but I like it when they pay Mirwais to give us Madonna's American life. And I also like when unknown guys get money to record some miracles.
