"... theft of revenue from companies and individuals that rightfully have earned that revenue through the investment of their money, time and efforts."
Sorry, Michail. You only earn revenue, when another party pays you for your efforts/investments/raw material.
Revenue is not a right, is a consequence. Companies will earn revenues when their offerings, regardless of how much effort or material goods they have invested, are relevant for second party. And many music labels have lost their relevancy.
And the discussion about demand misses the point completely. Nobody has and nobody will ever stop consuming music just because it is not distributed digitally.

Technology
Well, the technology itself is impressive! Other uses for such slim keypads and displays, anyone?
