I wouldn’t be surprised if the late Saint Steven of Apple imagineered a future where all new music is only released via the Cloud and could only be consumed on a strict pay per consumption model.
“…and increasingly the already-rich earn enormous sums by collecting rent on intellectual property: brands, inventions, music, or new medicines. And….the owners of patents or brands increasingly use the state, the law and the World Trade Organization (WTO) to both protect and guarantee extraordinarily high prices for ‘rents’ on these assets. This does not prevent them attacking the state for its ‘nannying’ role.”

….. No distribution, just profit. No product, just subscriptions. Never ending revenue, no ownership, no overhead, no distribution--seems like a record label's wet dream.
