Leigh pointed out that the best copy protection on a CD would not matter anyway, because numerous programs exist to allow consumers to translate their vinyl and cassette tape formatted music to digital files. "Any sound that comes out of a speaker is recordable, so an unrippable CD is impossible," he said. According to Leigh, money - or the lack of it - is the only factor that will motivate the record labels to embrace online distribution of music. "If CD sales continue to decline, and they did from 2000 to 2001, then music has nowhere to go but on the Internet," he said. So what is the delay? Miller said the current crop of music company executives is hurting themselves with their myopia. "They just want to protect their large pay checks, and make sure the crown jewels dont get stolen," Miller said.
