Digital Swindle?

The editorial seems to be long on manufactured indignation and short on perspective.

The threat of Napster / peer-to-peer based free (pirate) downloads and the decline in CD sales forced the music companies into downloads.

CDs aren't worth much so I can't see that consumers will be losing a fortune if they can't re-sell their music collection. I don't know much about the market for used LPs but I doubt that most LPs will be valuable after 20 years.

Leaving your collection to your kids? I don't read many accounts of kids being interested in their dad's collection.

If you don't want to buy music as downloads, buy the CDs and LPs now.
