It's pretty easy to make a very similar argument back against Napster's
model (which is obviously what he's trying to promote) by saying it's
equally ridiculous that someone who's spent thousands of dollars on
downloading music could then find all that music completely gone should
(a) Napster go out of business or (b) the user stop paying the monthly
fees.

Napster president slams ring-tone rip-offs

http://news.com.com/Napster%20president%20slams%20ring%20tone%20rip-offs/2100-1027_3-5862510.html

LONDON--Napster President Brad Duea has criticized cellular operators
that use the popularity of mobile music to exploit their customers.



Speaking at Mobile Content World, Duea said consumers should only be
charged once for their music--for whatever hardware they transfer it
to. "Some operators want to force consumers to buy all their content
again," he said. "That creates an island rather than an integrated
experience."



Duea also called for mobile-service operators to avoid charging their
customers almost three times as much to download a song to a mobile
phone as the same track costs to download to a PC.
