The logical next step is to get music directly through the Internet or a proprietary online service. That's where the music industry's piracy obsession really becomes counterproductive. The music on my computer from my own collection is completely under my control. I can copy it without limit. But the paltry Internet distribution services from music companies come with rigid copy protection schemes.
Music piracy is wrong.
But the music industry's decision to treat all Internet music as potentially criminal is alienating its customers. Their goodwill is far more important than what happens to Napster.
