It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

The answer to your question is: Access.

That's what people are willing to pay for these days. Not usage.

"I don't think people expect free music when they buy a phone any more than they expect free CDs when they buy a CD player or free drinks when they buy a glass or free money when they open a bank account."

Ah, but David, they do. And remember they aren't just buying a phone, or even mainly buying a phone (or a tablet or laptop), they are paying a hefty monthly fee to buy voice, text and data service and internet access. They expect music access as part of the package. Musicians need to get their cut of those monthly fees. Some in the music recording biz are finally wising up and shifting to an access model, but it is very late in the game.
