the last days for legal music

We could be witnessing the last days for legally downloaded music. I think it will be extremely interesting if the music industry manages to kill off their last hope by trying to bully Apple. What they don't get is that they can't stop it. Even if they pull their music from the iTunes music store they'll only kill themselves. I'll still want an iPod only now it will have illegal songs on it instead of legal ones. Combine that with what would surely be a huge growth in "podsafe" music/audio and you have the end of the traditional music industry. Well let's hope it happens. They had their day, they've made their mony, don't feel bad for them. Their time is over.
