First off I must say all the stealing is just fucking wrong and I hope those that do steal get it somehow.
That said, I can see a day not to distant from now when two things will happen.
1. Music will be sold by the song, litterally vending machine style at a price under a dollar. Machines will be either plug in, select titles, pay, download, or select titles, pay, spits out a CD. Price will be so low and convience so high that any retail location that can hold a small vending machine will be able to be a full record store. I also see these machines wired, so they can be instantly updated with the latests hits.
2. Free to consumers. Record industry will look outside of the box for revenue striving to replace what has been lost via theft. They will turn to big business. Everyone from fast food giants to magazine companies will give away download credits like toys in a happy meal. Record industry gets paid, consumer gets free songs.

Both pointless since anyone that knows how to use the internet can get any song for free.
