Yeah, I must admit I don't use it. I was likening it to Netflix I suppose which naturally isn't available in Oz because we're the only country in the world that can fake orgasm while being r@ped.

Actually it's not just music!!!!
See the main issue is most p2p sites went from p2p to bittorrent p2p hybrid because of this there distributing more viruses malware and spyware and rar files that lead to fake sites to get fake passwords for fake rar files that infect more machines good to see most hackers are not stupid

Well now that the funny is out of the way ... I think the reason is the consumer is more wise as to how they spend their money .... Sure p2p numbers went down but so did sales. I bet digital sales for singles went up but posting that would point out the truth about how they justify not making that billionth dollar they say they need or they would be hurting

Not to mention you can just as easily watch a video on YouTube, and from any device... you can even rip the MP3 right from the video. It's not for audiophiles, but if for some reason you need the file, you now have it.
