All those involved in getting new music to the point where we can listen to it are entitled to receive their share. It's their living, so they can make choices on what they do and buy. If everyone took your stance what would the concerts and shows you prefer to spend your money on cost I wonder. Oh .. perhaps you'd wait and rip them from YT ... |
I'm not defending Evil Ernie, but what happened to everyone being entitled to their own opinion? Did we just forget about that again? I'll go on record and say that the majority of kids 19 and under do not pay for music anymore, in my opinion (and experience). Doesn't make it 'right', but that's the reality of what is happening. Music has been made so readily accessible for free that it's common practice amongst university students and school kids alike - most of them don't even think about it in the same way that we do; they take it as a fact: music is available to download for free. Great. Now what's for dinner?
And I don't think you should be questioning anyone else's morals when it comes to the theft of intellectual property...
