| A sales assistant holds up a Nokia handset featuring a new mobile internet music download platform at a store in Hong Kong. Rampant piracy and a crumbling market for CDs has put the music industry in Asia under immense pressure, but experts are hoping that technology like Nokia's music services will help to fill the gap. Paul Smith, from Nokia, said the handset manufacturer was now offering music services bundled with its mobile phones. Instead of paying per song, music lovers are allowed to download onto their phone any song they want for a 12 to 18-month period. The cost of the music is factored into the price of the handset.
