When you listen to the radio, you are paying. Money is time, and you trade the 10-20% of your time you don't listen to music and listen to commercials for the exchange of music.

That's the exchange. As doe copying tapes and CDs and giving them to your friends, that's illegal as well.

You never have to listen to commercials though.  You can surf through radio station to radio station.  The idea is you listen to the commercials but that's really irrelevant.  Most people flip through the channels, endlessly.   Well if money is time then they need to find a way to get money off your time online downloading music. 

If there was a viable service for acquiring High quality music..People would use it in wild amounts. The need is there.  The actual service isn't.

 

If advertising on the radio never worked, no one would do it. You might make the effort to never listen to a commercial, but most don't.

And Hulu, and NBC do this with videos. So does Pandora with Music.
