It probably won't change much:

Apple - Marketing driven, all products look the same
Pop Music - Marketing driven, all products look & sound the same

Record companies might actually learn to accept the future and learn new ways to profit off their products rather than fighting it trying to use the same old archaic ways and suing everyone for it. Hopefully if one lable makes an example all the others will follow.
