Jukeboxes open my eyes
I went out drinking last night. I watched (and was involved in) people putting money into a jukebox. What did you get for your cash?

$1 - One song, one play.
$2 - Three songs, one play each.

My eyes were torn open. Here I am saying that people would be nuts to pay $5 to own a digital copy of a song, to own, keep and play as many times as you want... when I just witnessed many people happy to pay $2 to hear 3 songs once and that's it.

Sure they got to see a video too. Sure they were all pissed, but that's not the point is it?

Someone at work explained it as a sense of value. In a pub you get more for your dollar. You get fifteen friends singing a track, you get the discussion afterwards, you get a bit of entertainment. People are happy to pay for entertainment. In fact he said you get about the same value purchasing a song as you do 'renting' it as you do with a jukebox, and so three songs for $2 off the net would be his perfect price.

Interesting.
