Re:What's the logic here? (Score 1)

Although I don't like it, this business model isn't that unusual. There is a push to turn digital music and entertainment in general into a commodity market, where quantity and variety are king. Subscribers pay a 'nominal' fee to access seemingly unlimited amounts of content.

This isn't all that different from viewing OnDemand content through my cable provider. Looking at this from a big-picture perspective, these subscription models are trying to defeat ownership of select content with access to all content.

Will this result in loads of inferior content? Or will we all find content that precisely matches our taste? I don't know, but as a money-grubbing capitalist, I still like to 'own' my music.
