Digital Only Label

Well Universal is trying to release a digital only record label, I guess how it works is that a band gets signed to it and their music released thru legit pay services. If the bands rack up a certain number of downloads then their cd can be pressed and sold in the stores. I think this is a good idea but why has it taken so long to come to this? Also on the digital music realm, all the record labels are partnering up with peer to peers to provide a legit trading service. The way it stands now, if you buy a song from a legit source and someone else wants that song, they can pay .99c a song and grab it from you. Is it just me or is this the stupidest idea out there. No one is saving any money and there is no benefit from just going to itunes, napster and msn and downloading it yourself. When are these jokers going to understand that the only way you are going to get people on board is to lower the price of a digital download. Emusic has the right idea with .25c a song but the subscription thing is a bit restrictive. You can always buy additional downloads if u go over your monthly allotment but that is just a pain. Emusic is getting better, I keep finding stuff but its still nowhere near the selection that I would perfer. I keep hearing things on Woxy and checking emusic for them but they are not there.
