Of course I agree, and also that many people do not understand the difference or understand how this might apply to Streaming Music.
To my mind, it's quite simple. People will pay for the quality of the stream (SQ, bit rate, ad free, etc.), which I would term as ACCESS. I believe that CD quality streaming is on the way and people will pay MORE for ACCESS to a better quality stream. I certainly will (and now do).
They are far less likely to pay for CONTENT, in the form of a charge per tune streamed or a charge for streaming based on a charge per minute, hour, etc.
