Bon Jovi's comments make much more sense if you replace the word "kill" with "change." iTunes and others have changed the music industry and they're not done yet. The experiences he had are gone, but there are new ones enabled by technology. The music industry is exactly as doomed as it was when you could record and musician's voice on tape, when live shows were suddenly not the only way to hear a song.

Thanks for all the music, Jon. It'll be my time to whine like an old fogey when kids are subvocalizing a tune and Pandora makes a new radio station to match that song.

You omit the MPAA's definition of "kill". Their definition of "kill" is "forcibly reduce our obscene profit margin to something more in line with our actual costs of production and distribution".
