RE: intellectual property

["Eric Nilsson" <enilsson@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder the extent to which Internet-available music undercuts the record
industry's bundling of music - if you want one song you have to buy the
WHOLE record: the purchase of one product is tied to the purchase of other
products. Consumers are forced to buy stuff they really don't want in order
to get what they do want.

But the Internet allows people to download single songs or a group of songs
less than that which exists on a CD. This undercuts the tieing of lower
quality product (music) with higher quality product (good songs).
