Amazon and iTunes have succeeded with this idea. The music is non-DRM which means I can play it on everything. Its so easy and convenient. Here a song I like? Look it up on Amazon (my preferred), if its not there check iTunes. Click to buy, pay $7-10 US have entire album instantly.

Why pirate music when Amazon and iTunes have made it SOOO easy to get it legally. Instead of "Want, Take, Have." its "Want. Buy. Have.".

And it works I feel no temptation to scour the net looking to pirate something because I'm lazy.

Actually this is very true. I just bought two albums off of Amazon today as a matter of fact, because I saw they had a $5 album sale going on. I browsed through, and found two albums that I actually wanted and bought them. I am a huge music pirate, but I've bought more digital albums in the last month than I've bought solid CD's in my entire life.
Same thing as those ludicrous Steam sales, games I normally wouldn't have given a crap about come on sale for cheap, and its easier to just click "gimmie this" and get it, than to go hunt down the pirated version which would probably work just as well.
