I believe if the time and money spent on trying to fight an impossible war were spent on making the product better, we could achieve something. Like iTunes Music Store. Everyone, EVERYONE said the music industry would never recover from Napster/Audio Galaxy days. But all it needed was a better solution. Easy, reasonably priced and elegant to use. And lo, digital legal music sales are through the roof.
Think on't.

Yep, I totally agree with you on this one. This industry must come with new tech driven incentives that are easy to use/understand and with some good pricing.
Many programs are floating on what once made themselves successful and consumers have better things to do then being bounded to $29,95 subscription plans.
The iTunes Music Store is a great example. Also the modern consumer has more ways to spend their online time (take a look at the # related to social gaming). Virtual goods/social gaming is booming.
