I am sorry, but I disagree.<p>Producer has the complete right over their product. They can price however they want, they can decide the form and the channel by which you will be able to acquire the product. Piracy doesn't provide information. A free market with healthy competition lets producers know what consumers are looking for. And trust me, they do a fine job at it.<p>Imagine for a second that there was a 100% fool proof way to protect digital content. Do you think recording companies will be fighting with Apple about letting them sell the music on iTunes? If I were to guess, there would be an online music store from Amazon, from Microsoft, from Google, from Pandora and what not. All competing with each other trying to sell music. A song would probably cost less than a dollar because suddenly you can tap in to much larger consumer base. Unfortunately, there is no way to protect digital content and we are back to our imperfect world.
