How much is 5 billion songs downloaded?? Something like 500 million albums. Doesn’t sound so much right, but figure it is increasing by a billion a year by now and it sure feels like a monopoly. Amazon.com and Walmart.com are much cheaper but they aren’t as easy.
Unless the online universe is ready to concede the game to Itunes, somebody somewhere (hey Gates, if at first you don’t succeed) better do something. Itunes will soon be at $1.50 -if some enterprising young man takes a hit and comes in at $0.50 they can run itunes out of business.
