Keep your shirt on, You forgot this part: Customers will pick from about 100 tracks found on eight different Internet music sites that have entered an agreement with network and kiosk service, RedDotNet. note the "pick from about 100 tracks"... by, uh, how many artists? 10-20 probably? I should think those artists are majors if not well known artists just doing mp3-only releases, else the kiosk wouldn't draw enough customers to pay for itself.
