If a song is so crappy it's not worth paying for then why have that "crap" in your music collection tobegin with?

I use a small program commonly used by bloggers. I've been using it for some time now, and earlier today had some free time and decided to explore some of it's options, including the ablity to resize photos and create properly linked thumbnails.
A bunch of people got together, decided there was a need for something, and created it. They didn't want fame or glory or even money; They wanted to build a better product. They might some beer money off of ads on their site, but that's about it.
This is what the music industry is going to face soon. In the near future there will be a day when music isn't created by people looking for fame and money. They'll be doing it because they love what they do.
People who love what they do will do it for free, and even more so if it's enjoyed by others.
