Music over the Internet should be free. We'll put all the albums we can on the Internet for free download and to hell with the record companies. Let's all take a deep breath, shake hands and start the discussion again. Let's list what both sides agree on and what both sides disagree on. The record companies are a rip off.
Music is too expensive.
Music is great and sure feels like it should be free. The people who create, write, play and make the music should be able to make a reasonable living doing so. If they are really, really good they should have the possibility of getting rich. Everyone who would like to be a musician should have a reasonable shot at it. Record companies aren't going to go away.
