It's not "ok" but it's also encouraged by all the MP3 player manufacturers. It's like Sony selling bongs, but you can't legally fill it with weed.
You can purchase MP3s, but at $1 each... it's not very appealing. Maybe they should come up with unlimited downloads for $29.95 a month or something along those lines. Not everyone has time or interest in downloading hundreds of files a day (especially people on dial up), so they would actually make much more from idle subscribers. Like when AOL went unlimited... some people haven't disconnected since 1997... others sign on once a week to check their email.
Unfortunately, the money being lost doesn't go entirely to the artists. And the part that does? Well fuck them... Not all of us make $20 million to stock a home music library with.
