"What intent does the industry really have... perfecting music reproduction quality /or/ continuously selling to provide profitability ?"
Given the trends in compression, and yes the artists bear blame as well, I would submit that perfecting quality is at best in the back seat. Personally, coming from an industry that was and continues to be destroyed my bootlegs, I see no issue in the artists and industry making a profit. Frankly I welcome it, given a free market.
