    If transferring to a locker is fine....

    Why not make the locker, the transfer service as well. Rather than maintaining and monitoring two sources (user and recipient computers) make the service an online locker so that transferring songs is really just a database update? Allowing the locker service to only maintain 1 copy of a file, but allow access to many people, rather than "transferring" said file.

    The service could have streaming as well via web or app.

    I'm sure that opens up an entirely new can of worms though.

    Assessment

    I've been reading most of these comments, and while I love the discussion, it seems that the points are being picked to pieces. This is a blog, written by someone with an opinion on what's happening. Is it 100% correct? Why even ask the question?

    By reading this blog, these posts, you have two options: respond with relevant topical information, or catalog the information and move on. I really don't understand how a discussion about the recording industry breaks down to a personalized attack at Mike with phrases like "assisted suicide" and "since corporations are people, it's the same as murder".

    Frankly, it is a law put on the books to afford certain rights to corporations. "Killing" a corporation does not exact murder charges. First of all, no corporation is going to go down that easily, thus "Murder" should be replaced with a slower form of death, say "Asphyxiation". Second, you cannot ask a corporation to baby sit, or catch a movie with you. Corporations are COMPRISED of people. Even the opinion of a corporation comes not from one single person. So the idea of "killing" a corporation cannot logically be equated to killing people.

    As for this blog, I think its a good source of opinion. I don't see any reason to not afford someone their right to voice their opinion, as it's my choice whether or not I accept their stance. This argument has many stances, all which have their ups and downs. To each their own. Providing reasonable evidence only strengthens that stance.
