...music streaming strikes me as just another cloud based service. MS wants us to do "Office" in the cloud and Adobe CS forces us there so why not music (and other media) too.
To the average user, streaming appears to be the same as ownership (listen to what I want whenever I want) and the library is essentially infinitely large even if they choose to use only a small part of it. The only glitch is when you're not able to connect to the web, but there's lots of effort and $$ being expended to make that situation rare. Streaming also helps reduce piracy and gets us closer to the holy grail of big media: pay per play. There's something there for just about everybody. What's not to like?

Everybody likes "Somebody's Watching Me," but I like Rockwell's dance sensation, "Obscene Phone Caller" better. When I host parties, I play "Obscene Phone Caller," which is always a hit on a the dance floor.

...means you've voluntarily given up much of your privacy. Younger generations act as if privacy is highly overrated anyway ...and they're setting the future trends so best to get used to it.
I'll not join the pay per view crowd.
