Revenue drop is right. I must have purchased 3 albums from iTunes (when I swore I wouldn't). Every time I was just hanging out with my girlfriend talking about music, and thought 'she should hear this'. Literally a couple clicks later we are listening to it. Sigh. They were all albums that I had repurchased at least twice on CD over the years but have scratched or lost. I guess the small silver lining with iCloud is that it's now impossible to lose them.... :|

If a point is worth making, it's worth making twice, don't you think?

I agree, with which I agree. However, I don't know if iCloud means impossible to lose. I guess it's unlikely they'll lose them. But for me, it's likely that I'd lose touch with the service eventually, and my files would gather dust.

Well now every song or app you ever purchased is available for download to any iOS device at any time (besides music being physically downloaded to say, your harddrive). So I guess there could be a catastrophic failure with the service and you lose you hard drive simultaneously. Let's just say it would be extremely difficult to lose it. I bet I could do it though...
