Your mileage may vary of course, but Spotify definitely beats TPB when it comes to easy. Relatively cheap and extremely accessible. I entered my credit card details a couple of years ago and simply forgot about the negligible sum withdrawn each month. Such a shame it took the industry so long...

And yet pay tv, netflix, itunes, amazon and countless others manage to survive in the face of free-to-air tv, radio, and pirates.
Stop thinking that the USA is the world, and what works there will work everywhere. Outside the US, availability of digital content is a wasteland.
I don't buy that. There is and will always be ( as far as I can tell ) the simple fact that I can get an album that costs x dollars for 0. Itunes and Amazon make the purchase of music about as easy as possible, but they still can't beat free.
