Ze explanation iss zimple. They aren't interested in us, or the music, or how we prefer to buy it, or whether we can keep it securely, or what happens after we've done the all-important paying of the money. If we have to buy it again, and again, and again, then they're in hog heaven. If they could find a way to get us to give them all our money without their having to provide us any music or indeed anything at all, they'd regard it as a triumph of the proper order of things. People don't believe me when I talk about corporate demons, but that is no more and no less than what they are.

I think that's what televangelists do :3

Sure. But it is ultimately a self-defeating strategy.

That is not new to the music industry, which lived so well so long that they never conceived people would stop buying their product on the terms dictated. But I do feel compelled to point it out, if only for my own satisfaction.
