Lets be realistic here.

So I'm going to go and delete 90% of my mp3s and go and purchase a CD player this afternoon.

Actually nope, I'm going to continue to steal all my music out of a combination of apathy and disdain for the system.

Oh and continue to go to the odd gig.

You and some other commenters miss the point completely.

Now the "rights holders" will have right to tax every storage medium you buy. n% of what you pay for your HDD goes to them. (And I don't know who is that, since everybody I lisen to won't get a cent)
