...it means their lazy.

Finding quality music through filesharing networks is a pain. You get inconsistent quality, bad naming, incorrect files, viruses, etc. If you're a saavy user and determined, you can get around this, but I don't think that's your average person.

When you use iTunes + iPod, there's a product combo that has a great user interface, is reliable, and is simple. The iTunes store is at a price point customers accept. You get quality and simplicity for a price, and people are willing to pay for it.

It seems like a strange conclusion to draw...
