I'm not saying downloading MP3s illegally is right, I said a membership type of thing would be good etc. I also said I buy CDs anyway. I used to tape songs off the radio when I was a kid  I still bought the tape. Burning CDs just happens to be a lot easier than cassettes and of better quality. I just think they should work on a better solution, than suing a 12 year old.

Well MP3 players are a move in the right direction as far as technology goes, and I don't think you can fault the manufacturers for trying to stay competitive with each other and get their products out in a market that's going to only grow as time goes on. It's not their concern how the people get their mp3's. It's business.
I do believe the problem is with the record companies when you come down to it. People aren't buying albums because of the recording industries philosophy the past 15 years or so. All they care about are the singles. They don't work on developing bands, or even working with the bands to make their albums good. All they care about is that one song so they can make their money. I believe that if they worked on developing bands so that bands would churn out full albums of good songs album after album, as happened before the mid 80's, they could put a dent in the declining numbers of their CD sales.
