I agree with your whole diatribe, but I agree 125% with this one. In the past ten years we have seen the entire music world turned inside out. Good music is getting harder to find because record labels can't afford to take the risks that they used to. The digital era admittedly is extremely convenient and allows MySpace kids to get attention that would have been impossible for them to get beforehand, but at the same time it has taken it's toll on not only the labels and the musicians, but the quality of music in general that reaches the listener's ears. I for one see no legitimate purpose in the file sharing sites still being alive. Even the ones with that ridiculous twenty dollar monthly fee aren't fair as the person downloading can still download an entire terabyte's worth of music before the end of a month.
