    actually the riaa is in the process of killing the streamers as well as
    the download services. see Velanche's rant...
    and i think the bbc only streams in low quality real audio, which is no
    where near the sound of mp3s. but i wonder how yesterdays ruling will
    affect them and other non US based stations.

    the music industry is working on their own services, pressplay and
    others, to replace the p2p sharing apps. i think the differencebeing
    that they dont share, they're not free, you cant burn songs to listen to
    anywhere other than your computer and there's a very limited number of
    track available. sounds great.
