Music Label Services Debut Lackluster

We had the demise of Napster(Free Music) and we have Musicnet and Pressplay beginning susbscription for music downloads.

However

digital music downloads are going ``legit,'' and yet college students and corporate desk drones continue to get busted swapping songs on the Internet's gray market.

Because

This is bad news for the major music labels, which launched subscription download services MusicNet and Pressplay this month in an effort to combat the rise of music piracy on the Internet, which the labels claim is eating into CD sales.

There's no demand for the services. The volume of file-sharing is much greater now that when Napster was alone.

So

"... until the commercial services are better or the free services are gone".

So do you think free services are slowly vaporizing from what you read from other articles and forums regarding digital music?
