Regardless of their motivation, their great deals probably help their overall sales. I don't buy much music, except when I run across great deals like Google Play often has. But when I want to buy music, Google Play is the first seller that I think of now! In fact, a moment ago I was struggling to think of who else sells music and I was having a difficult time thinking of anyone else!
