Mark: I think the customers are more honest than the record companies give them credit for. It's when the customer is treated poorly that they, by and large, behave dishonestly in return. I find it somewhat bizarre that, if a customer pays an extra 40 cents per track, they are suddenly deemed honest. But then, that's partially an Apple mandate... unencrypted tracks mean you're no longer locked into using Apple's software and hardware, breaking into the iPod's near-monopoly.

Heck, if you're PAYING for tracks at all rather than downloading them for free, you are by definition and honest customer, and the music services should be breaking down your door to offer you more, not charging high prices and crippling the download files.

I also find it exceptionally bizarre that nobody has come up with a decent micropayment structure. It seems like a fairly easily solvable problem. From what I gather, the people coming up with micropayment schemes seem to prioritize immense profitability over convenience and simplicity. I've heard quite a few reasonable schemes proposed; it's about time someone runs with one.
