Ulrich,<br>
I've struggled with the same question over the last couple of years
while launching my music store, the Ogg Cafe, and have come to the
conclusion that people will buy what they perceive to have value.<br>
In this case, I have decided to promote tracks and some whole albums in
ogg vorbis with a quality of -q8 and a sample rate of 48khz. These
tracks would sell for .10 to .12cents US per megabyte and would have
the URL to the store in the tags. Then I would offer, for free, the
very same track at -q0, 44khz. I want to give potential buyers a sign
that I do not consider them to be crooks. I want to be able to control
downloads, but not the copying, based on my belief that people want to
do good and to be honest.<br>
Not to appear Pollyannaish, I know that there are some folks who would
steal like a bandit if not watched, but I think that in monitoring
downloads, I can curtail as best I can that sort of behavior.<br>
