The media companies are overcharging to try and squeeze the last few dollars out of a system that penalized both the artists and those that enjoy their art. A new paradigm that takes the media giants out of the picture (they are just overpaid middlemen) will open the doors for more music and movies in more genres than ever. The artists will get richer and the media will be cheaper.
Then, few people will bother with illegal downloading, because music and movies will be priced fairly.

If I like an artist I prefer to buy their CD, not for the moral issue really but because I just think MP3's sound rubbish. However if a song isn't available commercially I might think about downloading it.

its the future of media. something that is trying to be controlled, but ultimately can't. regulating this force is like trying to search the entire human race one by one for who caused the common cold.
DJ Danger Mouse, Producer of Gorillaz - Demon Days, The Beatles / Jay-Z mash-up, the Grey Album, and one half of the duo Gnarls Barkley had this to say:
"The danger is music's just becoming another thing to sell, another product, it's a candy bar. Saying that you can't have my record because you didn't pay is the wrong message! You're trying to scare kids into not doing something they're going to do anyways. You have to adjust to them; don't make the masses adjust to you,"

It makes music more expensive for the rest of us, drives up the cost of concerts, and is likely to change the landscape of music forever.

Maybe if new CDs didn't cost 15.99, people wouldn't be compelled to get the files for free.
Good thing we have used CD stores, though :D
