What funny is you seem to see this as a justification to make more draconion copyright laws rather then i don't know produce a better quality album that has significantly higher percentage of good songs.

leveraging the distribution channels (bit torrent etc) to test market the songs so that you have less dogs and more successes (for example).
How about the idiots who only buy the single that they heard on the radio were subsidizing the rest of the album, where the artists could more freely express themselves without making every single song a "hit record".

I've collected albums for years, because I like a lot of those songs that aren't "good" because they weren't popular. It's not all just filler.
