This item - which describes plans by six major music store chains to offer in-store CD burning of music downloaded from the net - reminds me of the "publish on demand" schemes pushed on colleges and universities a few years ago? Remember those? I hope you weren't one of the poor ones who invested the bank to obtain data in proprietary format that could be used only for printing on the vendor's machine. The record companies' plan sounds forward thinking, but in an age where almost everyone has easy access to the internet, why force them to trudge to the mall to get some music? The content industry has not yet learned that their competition is not the internet, the competition is the customer.
