How can they expect to stay afloat?
I think their business plan is "stupid"

Someone needs to make a pardoy "Do the Math" ad.
Crappy Subscription Plan + 0 customers = -24 million
Great Online Music Store + Tons of customers = 290 million

Those Napster Super Bowl comercials were rated the worst comercials in this years Super Bowl... I just can't imagine paying $15 per month and not even owning the music.
I download maybe 5 - 10 songs a month and that is plenty for me and it works on my iPod ( sometimes)

On a slight tangent: On MS music store (Rolling Stone magazine sept. 2004)
"Ted Cohen, EMI Worldwide's senior vice president of digital development and distribution, has seen Microsoft's site and describes it as "a better mousetrap" because it integrates the company's search and instant-messaging technologies. "I think it will be a serious competitor quickly," he says."
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/sto...as-player=true
Strangely I can't seem to find much information on how MS is doing with their "beta" music store  (or the not so beta)
Napster will lose until they die, as will most companies that venture in the on-line music selling business. MS will not die so I wonder what they are up to.
