I think your on to something.
We've mentioned the music industry in this thread and overlooked a recent success in pay for downloads when people said that no one would when things were for free....
iTunes.
It was said that people would never pay to download music if they could get it for free from P2P networks. However, the attraction of P2P wasn’t just the price, it was the user experience, which was something Apple understood.
Something this business could learn from.
