Not everybody's jumping ship.  Santana went the standard route, and put a 
ton of personal work into the effort, too, shoving it down everybody's 
throat, trying to get it played.  I notice the record companies seem to be 
winning the Internet battle just lately, too, although they remain with the 
problem of only having a limited catalog to offer--nothing like the massive 
availavility that file-sharing provides.  Eventually the music business 
might be back to the same old  status quo.
