Yup, exactly. "If I can get it for free, why should I pay for it?". We're a long way away from the point where Indian consumers will realize that spending Rs.50-100 for an album is not a "waste of money".

i have bought over 140+ songs from flyte. why?
i believe if you say you are huge fan of suppose like Eminem and still download his songs for free thats disrespect to artist and
for me if i really like the artist and admire his work he deserve to get paid for his work and thats what i do.

have bought all the songs of artist which i like even hindi songs from Go Goa Gone.
plus piece of mind that it's original purchase and don't have to visit any paki sites with trojans.

in short: if you're a true fan/admirer of an artist buy at least one of your fav. song from their album. :)

p.s. Flyte was the only place where i could get Gujarati Dayaro as an MP3 :p

Correct. But most people are so used to getting things for free, they think they have no reason to switch to this paid content distribution system. Therein lies the problem.

What if more people get the value of this service, and start buying more and more songs before they shut down (on 17 June). Will that be a game changer for Flipkart? Can that make Flipkart to reconsider their decision?
Just saying....

2 days back saw two guys at rajouri garden who walked out from verna having s4 n downloading songs from djmaza n installing pirated apps..

Here in india well educated decent guys just thinks buy a 40k phone n then flood it with pirated apps

another simple thing i believe in.
pirated apps? why anyone would release something that is paid for free?
will leave upto you to think LOL.

if i don't get anything return for releasing paid items for free why would i bother and spend time on cracking it.

if the content is getting free outside ...why should people will buy ?

bunch of ifs, no one has got digital distribution totally right yet, licenses may have something to do with it as well

it is more convenient to store all your stuff in the cloud than moving the data around on multiple hard drives, and maintaining those drives
you can have easy access to all your content from anywhere
paying for a lot of content at one go can get you to constantly consume more stuff than you would otherwise purchase or pirate. amazon prime, spotify (perfect for this sort of thing), not really itunes match.
assured bandwidth from servers for downloading

what flyte did right - price drops to free, exclusives, drm free
what flyte did wrong - ease of payment, subscription based options to make it more appealing, present it more as a service (that's what it actually was) rather than a storefront.

piracy is meh. to physically get the files, it's not like they are available in all formats and all bitrates. only popular ones are available for a time, and they disappear. youtube, 8tracks and grooveshark are all good for instant music, but ripping from them is too impractical.

Well,you can't change anything in India Now.
99% Of the people are born and start pirating, while In usa and other counterparts buy songs/apps etc.
Here it's like Mr.X pirates and shares it with his group of friends etc.

how?

on-topic: been ages since i listened to a song (yup) ...this news hardly affects me but i wanna say that people shud be taught the importance of intellectual property rights, specifically in the digital world. This piracy mess is so enmeshed into our society that it luks weird if someone buys a copy of Windows (separately from purchasing a laptop)
