Tectonic Change In Music Industry
Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive, has succeeded in a major coup, forcing tectonic change in an industry notorious for its dinosaur pace and dragon tactics.
Since the late 1990s, the music industry has battled Internet sites that allowed anyone to download and copy virtually any song for free. Entertainment companies sued to shut down such file-sharing services as Napster, but failed to stem the traffic as other sites and technologies replaced it.
Now, there's a legal option that nearly everybody likes.
At 99 cents a download with virtually no restrictions on how and where the songs can be played — including portable devices — Apple's service for Macintosh computer users is proving to be the most promising alternative to free, pirated music.
