In an interview with the BBC, Napster head Brad Duea argues that Steve Jobs has "tricked people into buying a hardware trap". Duea presents his case for treating music as a subscription service, vs. Apple's approach of selling tracks.
"A lot of time people think of ownership as this ultimate thing with music," notes Duea. "Has owning cassettes in the past really benefited people? In many cases they have had to repurchase music in a new format."
"I do not think the argument about ownership is such a wonderful thing. What do you really want as a music fan? It's to access music and listening to music."
