Well, iPod became popular due to the "Rip, Mix, Burn" slogan - the fast, easy way to rip your existing cd's - massive file sharing came after and was due precisely to this easy ripping.
No wonder the music studios hate it, but when they try to talk about it like in the last "misunderstanding" in that trial a while ago, the hullaboo from the press and people is too high even for them...
So, unless you ban cd ripping, you ain't going back to the old days...
