More music?

Today CNN.com reported that there will be yet another site to download music legally. In the wake of the trials of illegal downloaders many websites have created online downloading programs. Best Buy is the most recent to launch a this service. Others include Itunes and Wal-Mart plus many more. The services they offer are very similar, 99 cents per a song, and there are limitations on how many times this song can be transfered to other devices or burnt onto CD.
This shift in supply of legal music is offering more options for online music users. Hopefully this increase in legal supply will decrease the illegal downloading off the internet. As more suppliers enter the market they will have to make the market competitive by offering better services and lower prices. Hopefuly this will make the online music downloading market move in right/legal direction.
