You don't buy music, you lease it under certain terms. This is most likely the agenda behind the controversy, to start redefining what is buying. You're buying into the concept and leasing the actual content. Hopefully with advanced technology people will be able to make their own professional quality music one day and the music industry will lose its strangle hold on music fans. Or we could all realize that we're the ones being played and stop buying into the music industry and let it fade away and be replaced by something genuine. But that may not happen since most fans of music are spending mom and dad's money and mom and dad are too lazy, too irresponsible to even know what filth their own children are listening to which would shut down most under age children purchases of Satanic verses.
