RE: Times are tough; here's my take on it.

"The commodity that is most being sold and most being bought is internet BANDWIDTH, and so the CONTENT that is on offer is only to make you buy more bandwidth."

This may be true for some streaming services or wireless delivery, but it is most definitely not true for downloads. The going rate for internet bandwidth is roughly $0.10 per GB. A typical CD quality download is 0.4 GB, about $0.04 worth of bandwidth. At the other extreme, a highres download might be six times as costly. Contrast this with the typical sales price of a download, $10.00 to $40.00.

It is possible to debate what is being sold, but it's not internet bandwidth.
