Sounds to me like he got all of his news second and third hand. He doesn't
even really know why mp3.com is getting sued.
What makes the internet music thing so great is that now anyone in America
(or the world) with a computer can find all sorts of music, not just what is
available at the local record store.
It's lots easier for musicians to get their stuff out there and network now,
but most music-buying folks I've met have a strong identity with what they
listen to, so there's not much of a chance of folks changing their music
choices overnight.
