I read a good article (can't find the link now) saying that already all music downloads are donationware. Some people just don't notice it.
It is your choice whether you get it via iTunes, Peoplesmusicstore Amazon or download it for free. If you choose to download legally, you are making a donation. You would've gotten it for free just as easily, but you decided to be fair and pay.
An irritating angle, but a sober one.The model is changing, no idea where it leads to though.
I remember when Apple announced last year they'd be getting 30% off AppStore sales (iPhone apps), the developer would get 70%. Some people said Apple were cheeky to rip such a big chunk.
Actually, compared to the music industry it is surprisingly generous.
I hear it's the same 70/30 for iTunes downloads, only record companies get 85% of that 70%.
