Different people... different expectations... different markets... diversity is what makes the world interesting and what makes life for a 5% marketshare PC company money.
I am sure there is a market for unlimited music subscription. As there is a market for legal download. As there is a market for real CDs. And a "market" for illegal download. It's up to the music companies to move as many customers as possible to the "right" markets. Not because it's good for the karma... just because it's good for their money.
Somewhere it's funny. Apple decided to sell the music support and the music itself separately ! This was the revolution. Imagine you go to Walmart, buy a plastic CD, and then select the music to be burned on it. But if you buy the music song by song at $1, you buy CD plastics in lots of 1'000 for $500 ! Nobody would believe one can do money with _that_. Apple does.
So maybe someone else will do money by selling download time at $180/year.
