Pirating music from a Jay-Z app seems much much harder than from a desktop.

There are already dozens of torrents with thousands of peers on The Pirate Bay. It doesn't really matter how hard it is, as long as a single individual can do it.

I think we're on the verge of a total shift back to the world of pre-CD burners where you simply had to pay 10-20 to listen to an album.

Before CD burners we had tapes. The logo of the music industry campaign against home taping is actually part of The Pirate Bay's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Taping_Is_Killing_Music

Before CD burners we had tapes.

...which were subject to generation loss. You had an incentive to buy albums you liked, because taping involved a loss of quality.
