If the whole industry moved to match those Russian websites' business structure, the incentive to pirate the product rather than buy it would be dramatically diminished..
Those are the reasons I use the iTMS actually. I feel like I'm paying for a service more than just a song. think the integration, quality, constancy, UI, etc. is great. I dunno, I just don't see iTunes selling songs that are cheaper and have no DRM. Maybe in the future things will change. I guess you opened my eyes a bit to see that with gov't tracking downloads and whatnot in the future, illegal downloads will become like sealing a car or robing a 7-11 (i.e. less common).
