Its not really true that people will not pay for what they can get for free.
If it is a lot more convenient to pay a small amount of money than to find something for free, I think most people will choose to pay.
That's true. I used allofmp3 for my music before Oink came around. $1-2 was perfectly reasonable to pay for an album in my preferred non-DRM format. However, in the post Oink era, it is much easier and more convienient to not pay for music. I don't think the RIAA will ever come up with a solution more convenient than Oink and its successors.
