I've been thinking about and hoping for that for quite some time now and I hope it happens that way. Someone already said the genie's out of the bottle and that's a great analogy. I have no doubt the record companies will fight this to the grave, but that's where they're going if they keep fighting it.
Consider the old taoist proverb:
Confucius was walking along the Gorge of Lu where a great waterfall plunges for thousands of feet. The waters churn below. He and his students saw a man leap from the top into the foaming river below. They thought the man must be committing suicide, and Confucius? students hurried to the river?s edge. When they arrived, the man was standing, shaking off the water, and beginning to sing. Confucius approached the man and asked him, ?How did you manage to swim through such dangerous waters??
The man answered, I have no particular method of swimming, except that when I am in the water, I do not fight the water?s superior power. I float with it and sink with it instead of trying to force my way through it. I started my learning with what was given to me at birth, continued with what was natural for me to do, and completed by trusting what was meant to be.?

"Just as a man who has fallen into a heap of filth ought to seek the great pond of water covered with lotuses, which is near by: even so seek thou for the great deathless lake of Nirvana to wash off the defilement of wrong. If the lake is not sought, it is not the fault of the lake."
