which will allow people to access all those mp3 files from for example www.magnatune.com.

Magnatune has some liberally licensed music, but so does Jamendo:

Here we see for each artist and track, eg

http://www.jamendo.com/uk/album/94/

the option to stream and download in OGG as well as MP3. My point is not that therefore it is not painful to lack MP3, but that a solution can come from either end.

I get annoyed when I see people elsewhere wave their hands about DRM and exclaim that it's on no consequence because some teenager will crack it. What they're really saying is they are happy to have unknown young people risk their liberty and their (or their parents' house) so they can continue to have the content they want on the terms they want. It seems to me we discuss something of the same here, it's okay if Livna or some other people will provide dangerous contraband so long as no risk comes back on the people that want to consume it.

Whoever is getting put in the position of providing these things in a tacitly-official way may face much more risk of getting hit by chair-throwing monkeys because of that small change, it seems to the pile of dagger-words on the thread like 'zealot' we should add 'ethical'.
