But easyGroup wasn't suggesting that music downloads are legal or encouraging pirating of music from internet - quite contrary. It seems to have taken refreshingly straightforward approach to music that we have seen revolutionise shorthaul air travel and car hire. "The music companies British Phonographic Industry are operating an outdated business model" said Stelios. "They are creating costs and complications for themselves by producing CDs, wrapping them in expensive packaging, incurring costs of distribution and then allowing retailers to take their cut of cake. If they allowed easygroup legal online music downloads for a fee they could reduce their own costs and still make money by offering consumers lower prices." easymusic is part of easygroup of companies which includes easymoney, easycruise, easyjet, easynet, easycinema, easymobile The full case has yet to be heard but it seems easyGroup does not intend to go quietly or apologetically to court. This is not a "Napster" style case, but it does highlight issue that increasingly consumers want a choice of music delivery and play-media. I recently heard someone in music industry British Phonographic Industry say "there is no conscience in easygroup's music copying". She might be right, but more industry infighting there is, less sympathetic music consumers become. Copyright law can sit comfortably with music downloading and time is ripe for all parties to pioneer a new approach to it which satisfies diverse interests of artists, consumers and record companies. easymusic is part of easygroup of companies which includes easymoney, easycruise, easyjet, easynet, easycinema, easymobile
