100 Million served and counting

Apple has announced they have sold over 100 Million iTunes. While I believe that numbers like this represent the willingness of consumers to pay for digital music, I don't believe that this validates the Apple model of selling songs for 99 cents each. I continue to wonder how consumers are loading their iPods with music... is it really from iTunes or is it from Kazza? I can't imagine a new consumer in the digital music market paying $3000 and taking the time to fill up their iPod with legal music. I really believe that over time the music subscription model will prevail for those serious music lovers.

P.S. - This really reminds me of when McDonalds used to have "5 Billion Served" on all their signs
